EMS Brüel & Kjær and envea join forces

Firms announce partnership to provide combined noise, vibration and air-quality monitoring services

EMS Brüel & Kjær and envea (the new trademark of Environnement S.A Group) have announced a partnership that will bring together envea’s extensive air-quality monitoring instrumentation and their global distribution channel and customer base to extend the capability of EMS’ environmental-monitoring service offerings.

EMS, who provide noise- and vibration-monitoring solutions across 42 countries, helping clients to manage their environmental compliance, have responded to the growing needs of their customer base by searching for a suitable technology partner to extend their service offerings to air-quality monitoring.

envea design a wide range of state-of-the-art analyzers and sampling systems for the measurement of regulatory pollutants and air-quality control across more than 50 countries. Their portfolio includes tailored systems and individual air-quality particulate and gas monitoring solutions, to meet industrial project requirements and regulatory needs.

The company’s ‘cairpol’ division provides easy-to-use and efficient miniaturized, sensor-based solutions for real-time pollutant monitoring, allowing continuous and cost-effective monitoring of air quality and fugitive emissions in industrial or urban areas.

Phil Stollery, EMS’ global product marketing manager, said: ‘envea were the logical choice of partner for EMS. They have a complete range of air-quality monitoring technology from high-end reference devices to cost-effective, high-precision sensors for pervasive monitoring. Like EMS, envea are a global company with very strong domain knowledge and are highly respected by their customers.’

Working together, EMS will integrate envea’s air-quality monitoring technology into their own product offerings and provide combined noise, vibration and air-quality monitoring services through both sales channels. The partners will also work to put EMS’ service model and value-adding applications on to the envea customer base and, where practical, share field service resources.

Commenting on the partnership, Serge Aflalo, vice-president of sales at envea, said: ‘We’re excited about the opportunity that partnering with EMS will bring. Their approach to providing fully managed services is something that will have broad appeal across our customer base.’

The two companies started working together in late 2017 and say the first combined offerings are expected soon.
