Senseca Chief Executive Officer, Christian Unterberger.
Commenting on this move, Senseca Chief Executive Officer, Christian Unterberger said: “With the skills sets that these acquisitions bring to Senseca, we see opportunities to grow our global presence with the expansion of our measurement instrumentation range, giving us a greater market reach. The synergy of our technical solutions enables us to deliver comprehensive environmental measurement systems that fully meet the needs of our customers.
“GEONICA brings to the table strong data logger competence, expertise in data acquisition, transmission and management via its own solutions, and Biral’s specialised focus on visibility and present weather sensors, as well as thunderstorm detection, aligns with our strategy of creating a focused and comprehensive portfolio of environmental sensor technologies. Both acquisitions will strengthen our leadership in the environmental measurement market.”
Jan Grobler, Managing Director of Senseca South Africa added: “High-precision weather monitoring can benefit various sectors, from renewable energy to aviation, marine operations, infrastructure and road safety, among others. The advanced measurement technology from GEONICA and Biral will consolidate Senseca’s South African footprint as the leading manufacturer and supplier of specialised environmental measurement instrumentation.”
GEONICA has long been known for its advanced data loggers and remote platforms for data and image acquisition and transmission which are compatible with a wide range of sensors, enabling the measurement of meteorological, hydrological, physical and environmental parameters.
Biral’s sensor technology delivers accurate and reliable weather monitoring data, which is critical in certain sectors. The sensors measure key meteorological phenomena such as precipitation, visibility, and lightning activity, which can assist in safety and operational efficiencies across various infrastructure and public environments.
