Milwaukee, WI, January 8, 2021 – Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) today announced the acquisition of Analytical Technology, Inc. (“ATi”), a privately held provider of water quality monitoring systems, for $44 million, funded with available cash.威斯康星州密尔沃基，2021 年 1 月 8 日 – Badger Meter， Inc.（纽约证券交易所代码：BMI）今天宣布以 4400 万美元收购私营水质监测系统提供商 Analytical Technology， Inc.（“ATi”），资金来自可用现金。
Founded in 1992, with headquarters in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA, ATi specializes in the design, manufacture and distribution of water quality instruments based on electrochemical and optical sensors. In addition to water quality parameters, its technology is also used to detect toxic gasses used in water treatment and other applications.
ATi 成立于 1992 年，总部位于美国宾夕法尼亚州科利奇维尔，专门从事基于电化学和光学传感器的水质仪器的设计、制造和销售。除了水质参数外，其技术还用于检测水处理和其他应用中使用的有毒气体。
With 2020 revenue of approximately $22 million, ATi solutions are deployed predominately in the U.S. and Europe, with the latter served from a regional office near Manchester, U.K. ATi offers modular, configurable and low-power multi-parameter water monitoring solutions that can be used in a variety of applications where periodic or continual monitoring is required. Data can be stored locally or communicated to a central database via almost any protocol.
ATi 解决方案的 2020 年收入约为 2200 万美元，主要部署在美国和欧洲，后者由英国曼彻斯特附近的区域办事处提供服务。ATi 提供模块化、可配置和低功耗的多参数水监测解决方案，可用于需要定期或持续监测的各种应用。数据可以存储在本地，也可以通过几乎任何协议传输到中央数据库。
Kenneth C. Bockhorst, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Badger Meter, stated, “The combination of solutions - including industry-leading electrochemical sensors from ATi with premier optical water quality monitoring instruments from s::can, which we acquired in November 2020 - provides Badger Meter with a fully comprehensive, robust and scalable water quality monitoring offering that delivers real-time data on demand to municipal water utilities and industrial users.”
Badger Meter董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Kenneth C. Bockhorst表示：“包括ATi行业领先的电化学传感器与我们于2020年11月收购的s::can顶级光学水质监测仪器相结合，为Badger Meter提供了全面、可靠和可扩展的水质监测产品，为市政水务公司和工业用户按需提供实时数据。
“Through both organic investments and accretive acquisitions, our core strategy is to continue to augment our smart water offerings by seamlessly integrating advanced technologies in instrumentation - including flow measurement, temperature, pressure and water-quality parameters - thereby enhancing the scope of valuable data for use by utilities and industrial customers,” Bockhorst added. “Leveraging our industry-leading ORION® Cellular endpoints, along with current and future communication and software technologies, we are creating robust digital solutions to operationalize real-time data into actionable insights that drive better results, optimize operations, reduce costs and create outstanding customer experiences.”
Bockhorst 补充道：“通过有机投资和增值收购，我们的核心战略是通过在仪表中无缝集成先进技术（包括流量测量、温度、压力和水质参数）来继续增强我们的智能水务产品，从而扩大公用事业和工业客户使用的宝贵数据的范围。“利用我们行业领先的 ORION® 蜂窝端点，以及当前和未来的通信和软件技术，我们正在创建强大的数字解决方案，将实时数据转化为可作的见解，从而推动更好的结果、优化运营、降低成本并创造卓越的客户体验。”
Bockhorst concluded, “I look forward to working alongside the talented ATi team and welcoming them into the Badger Meter organization.
