Sensirion acquiring micro gas-analyzer specialist Qmicro

Qmicro’s most important application areas include industrial process control as well as natural and biogas characterisation, a press release states. With this acquisition, Sensirion intends to expand its gas sensing portfolio from components and modules to stand-alone micro gas analyzers for industrial applications. Many industrial applications require high selectivity and accuracy of gas composition measurements. Micro gas-chromatography technology allows to very selectively and accurately determine the constituents of gas mixtures, enabling Sensirion to expand its gas-sensing offering for its customers from components and modules aimed at high-volume applications to micro gas analyzers addressing high-end applications. Mark Kok, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Qmicro comments: “We are excited to join forces with Sensirion, which will enable us to more efficiently scale-up our processes and accelerate growth.” “Sensirion very cordially welcomes all Qmicro employees and looks forward to further developing the Enschede location as a competence center for micro gas analyzers,” says Marc von Waldkirch, CEO of Sensirion. Qmicro was founded in 2013 and has sixteen employees.
