霍尼韋爾收購Fire Sentry公司

February 8, 2012 – Honeywell acquired Fire Sentry Corporation, a privately-held manufacturer of innovative fire detection and control products for a broad range of industrial markets. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

2月8日消息——霍尼韋爾收購了Fire Sentry公司，一家為眾多工業領域提供創新火焰探測和控制產品的私有制造商。交易的條款沒有披露。

Based in Yorba Linda, California, Fire Sentry’s product portfolio consists of fast-responding electro-optical flame detectors, portable test lamps and dedicated control panels that are used by customers in industrial settings such as petrochemical, semiconductor, paint booth/finishing, automobile airbags and munitions plants. Fire Sentry’s products are designed to ensure rapid, accurate, and reliable detection of both hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fires within a single device.

Fire Sentry公司總部位于加州的約巴林達，產品業務包括快速響應電光火焰探測器，便攜式測試燈和專用的控制面板，被客戶應用于石化、半導體、油漆車間/精加工、汽車安全氣囊以及彈藥廠等工業領域。Fire Sentry公司的產品設計確保了檢測的快速、精準、可靠，一個單一設備就可以探測烴類和非烴類火焰。

The acquisition will help Honeywell significantly expand its gas and flame detection, and monitoring solutions and builds on the company’s acquisitions of System Sensor in 1984 and Zellweger Analytics in 2005 among other important acquisitions in the gas detection arena. The company will be integrated into Honeywell Life Safety and will extend significant synergies in distribution channels, vertical end-markets and global end-users.

此次收購將幫助霍尼韋爾顯著擴大其氣體和火焰檢測和監控解決方案，此前，在氣體探測領域，霍尼韋爾在1984年收購了System Sensor公司，在2005年收購了Zellweger Analytics，以及其他重要收購。該公司將被整合到霍尼韋爾生命安全業務部，并將在分銷渠道、垂直中端市場以及全球終端用戶等方面顯著增強協同效應。

“This acquisition will further strengthen Honeywell’s leadership position in the gas detection space by enhancing our competitive gas and flame offering and bolstering our cross-selling opportunities across the globe,” said Mark Levy, president and CEO of Honeywell Life Safety. “Fire Sentry has a 30-year history of proven fire and flame detection innovation and more than 100,000 units installed worldwide in a wide array of industrial settings. This is a great fit for our Life Safety business and deeply complements our technology advances in gas detection which include an impressive number of technological firsts.”

霍尼韋爾生命安全業務部總裁兼首席執行官Mark Levy表示：“這次收購將進一步加強霍尼韋爾在氣體檢測領域的領導地位，增強我們的氣體和火焰檢測業務的競爭力，并增加我們在全球范圍內的交叉銷售機會。Fire Sentry有著30年成熟的火焰探測創新技術，在全球各種各樣工業領域的安裝量超過10萬個。這對我們的生命安全業務是一個絕好的搭配，極大地補充了我們氣體探測技術的優勢，其中包括數量眾多的技術第一。”

Fire Sentry’s smart electro-optical radiant energy multi-spectrum and multi-spectral flame detectors and associated products greatly reduce false alarms thanks to its innovative use of patented algorithms.

Fire Sentry的智能光電輻射能量多光譜和多光譜火焰探測器及相關產品憑借其專利算法的創新利用，大大降低了誤報。
