2021-12-01
Indutrade has on 30 November 2021 signed an agreement to acquire all of the shares in the Dutch company Klay Instruments B.V. klay-instruments.com (https://www.klay-instruments.com/) with annual sales of approximately EUR 6 million. The agreement was signed after the market closed.

Klay Instruments develops and manufactures customised instruments for measuring primarily pressure and level, but also flow and temperature. With focus on applications with high accuracy and high-performance requirements, often in complex environments, the instruments are used for automation of industrial processes. The OEM customers and end users are found within industries such as food, pharmaceutical, water/wastewater and pulp and paper.

All products are manufactured in stainless steel, meeting the highest standards of quality and technical innovation. The solutions include active temperature compensation with a built-in temperature sensor, which makes the products reliable and resistant towards changes in process temperature. With distributors in more than 50 countries, Klay Instruments supplies solutions and products to customers worldwide, having the Netherlands and Europe as the main markets. The company is located in Dwingeloo, the Netherlands, and has 31 employees.

The closing took place on 30 November and Klay Instruments will be included in Indutrade's Business Area Measurement & Sensor Technology. The acquisition is Indutrade’s 15th in 2021 and is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Indutrade’s earnings per share.
