Endress+Hauser acquires participation in Satron Instruments

08-May-2001

Endress+Hauser has acquired 39 percent of Satron Instruments Inc., thus becoming the biggest shareholder of the company based in Tampere, Finland. The enterprise is specialised in the production of sensors and fittings for the pulp and paper industry. Satron products are sold by Metso Endress+Hauser Oy in Finland which was founded as part of the strategic partnership between Metso and Endress+Hauser last year. Metso also holds a stake in Satron.

Satron employs a staff of 50 and is profitable. In the course of a gradual replacement of its own sensor components, the enterprise will increasingly purchase sensors from Endress+Hauser and combine them with fittings from its own production.

"The products and the know-how of the two enterprises are an ideal match," Klaus Endress, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group, explains. "We can supply Satron with the sensors they need while Satron will give us access to the pulp and paper industry with its specialised products and its long-standing experience there. Both enterprises will be strengthened in their core business by this cooperation."

"We are very glad about the commitment of Endress+Hauser," says Hannu Hurme, Managing Director of Satron Instruments. "Our companies fit very well technology-wise and the good cooperation with Endress+Hauser Metso will now become even more intensive."
