Industrial Physics, the global provider of materials and packaging testing and measurement, has announced the acquisition of U.S. coating thickness measurement specialist Sensory Analytics, the suppliers of industry-leading SpecMetrix®.
The addition of SpecMetrix® to Industrial Physics’ growing family of specialized testing brands further expands the range of quality testing solutions available to end markets worldwide. The North Carolina-based measurement systems provider offers advanced systems for real-time thickness measurement of coatings and film layers. These are used by professionals in packaging, coil coating and other global industrial applications.
Upon completion of the acquisition, Industrial Physics customers will have the ability to more accurately measure the absolute thickness of coatings down to sub-micron levels; using advanced technology systems that are easily configurable to measure rolls, coils, flat sheets, small samples or finished parts.
Industrial Physics CEO Barry Lyon commented on the announcement, “In 2023, I shared my enthusiasm regarding our vision for the future of Industrial Physics; building on the existing portfolio to further enhance the range of solutions we offer and better support our customers. The acquisition of Sensory Analytics and its unique SpecMetrix® technologies is another successful step in that plan, complementing several of our existing product lines with lab, bench and in-line test systems for accurate coating thickness measurement.
“We greatly value Sensory’s unmatched SpecMetrix® technology, systems and inherent dedication to customer support, which will support our purpose at Industrial Physics to protect brand and product integrity. Now, together, we can offer an even stronger range of solutions to our customers.”
Greg Frisby, CEO of Sensory Analytics, added: “We are proud to join Industrial Physics and collaborate to offer SpecMetrix® coating thickness measurement systems to manufacturing leaders around the world. With the increasing demand for digitization of industrial processes, it is crucial for packaging professionals and other industries to get better real-time data to ensure that product safety and quality are not compromised. As part of Industrial Physics, we will have increased resources and global infrastructure to deliver our high-impact technology and process data to meet growing global customer demand.”
