Indutrade acquires the Dutch sensor manufacturer Leiderdorp Instruments

2019-10-09
Indutrade has on 8 October signed an agreement to acquire all of the shares in Leiderdorp Instruments BV, (http://www.leiderdorpinstruments.nl/) with annual sales of approximately EUR 2.5 million. The agreement was signed after the market closed.

Leiderdorp Instruments is a niche manufacturer of sensors for geotechnical measurement solutions on the Dutch market. The proprietary product range focuses mainly on the two product groups Groundwater level sensors and Infrastructure vibration sensors.

The closing took place on 8 October and Leiderdorp is an add-on acquisition to Indutrade’s Dutch company Hitma Instrumentatie BV, within the business area Benelux. Hitma Instrumentatie supplies measurement instruments for measuring pressure, flow and temperature. The combined offerings provide significant growth opportunities as the companies complement and strengthen each other in product offering and market position.

The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Indutrade’s earnings per share.
