September 01, 2022 PRESS RELEASE
Spectris has completed the acquisition of Dytran Instruments, Inc., after the transaction received the required regulatory approval. As a result, Dytran will be integrated into the HBK business.
The acquisition of Dytran will broaden HBK’s existing sensor offering and further advance its ability to design and deliver custom sensing solutions with a fast turnaround.
California-based Dytran is a leading designer and manufacturer of piezoelectric sensors that measure vibration, force, and pressure. They also offer an advanced sensing line that includes 6DoF sensors, MEMS accelerometers, and digital smart sensors.
Dytran’s innovative products are used in product development testing and embedded monitoring solutions in space, aerospace, industrial, and automotive applications. Like HBK, Dytran sensors enable technology innovators to invent platforms and solutions of the future.
With its largest market in North America, Dytran will enable HBK to increase market penetration and build sales in the region. At the same time, HBK’s global presence will extend the reach of Dytran products and support worldwide.
With more than 75 years of experience in setting industry standards, HBK is the trusted expert in test and measurement. The acquisition of Dytran further brings innovation, agility, and customer-focused solutions to HBK.
I’m very excited to welcome Dytran and its employees into HBK. Together we will enhance customer processes and assets with sensing solutions. With a strong position in space, aerospace, and defence, we will bring additional value from our piezoelectric accelerometers, delivering higher customer intimacy and a broader product capability. The precision sensing sector is well placed to grow in a more connected and sustainable world and the addition of Dytran will support us to empower the innovators.
Ben Bryson, President HBK
HBK – Hottinger Brüel & Kjær delivers value beyond measure by helping companies bring safer, more energy efficient and innovative products to life – faster. We provide our customers with a complete portfolio of solutions across the test and measurement product life cycle, that unite the physical world of sensors, testing and measurement with the digital world of simulation, modelling software and analysis.
Once an Imagineer has identified an opportunity for a ‘smart’ product, the OEM typically wants the development of custom sensors to proceed very rapidly. You need a partner with a deep understanding of your application, and HBK experts can actively contribute and advise on fundamental sensor system design.
Air transport accounts for about 3% of global CO2 emissions. As they are released at high cruising altitudes, the effects of CO2, fine dust, nitrogen oxides and other pollutants on the climate are five times stronger than on the ground. But aircraft manufacturers have long been working on making flying more environmentally friendly.
Meet Ben Bryson, HBK’s president who says 'at HBK we aspire to empower the innovators, working with customers to identify their needs, then providing tailor-made solutions so they can create safer, more efficient and innovative products or services to their markets, in a faster manner.'
