Qmicro, which develops and produces gas analysis systems for industrial process analysis and laboratory technology was acquired by the Swiss sensor specialist Sensirion. The acquisition broadens Sensirion’s portfolio of sensor and analysis solutions and enables Qmicro to continue to grow thanks to its access to the exchange listed Sensirion’s network. The company domiciled in Enschede in the Netherlands was founded in 2013 and established a close working relationship with Demcon, technology developer and producer, that twenty years earlier also had its start in Enschede. Demcon took a minority interest, provided accommodation and management support, and assisted Qmicro with the industrialization of its innovative products. Today, Qmicro stands ready to conquer the world market together with Sensirion.
