LG Motion acquires Precision Acoustics

LG Motion has enhanced its technology portfolio with the acquisition of a controlling interest in Precision Acoustics, a Dorset-based ultrasonic measurement equipment manufacturer.

Precision Acoustics has more than 25 years' experience in acoustic measurement and material development. The company turns over £1.5million annually and employs 15 people; it produces hydrophones, ultrasonic transducers, scanning tanks and other acoustic measurement products that are used worldwide in sectors as diverse as medical equipment manufacture, industrial non-destructive testing, national standards metrology, academia, space and defence research.

Gary Livingstone, LG Motion's managing director said, "This is an excellent addition for LG Motion. The move allows us to offer our customers a wider product portfolio, particularly in our positioning and scanning solutions. We believe this is the beginning of Precision Acoustics setting a new benchmark in the ultrasound measurement market in terms of product performance and customer service."

LG have said the move will see Precision Acoustics, its products, offices and identity maintained­ - with its Dorchester site continuing to operate as a production and development centre for acoustic and ultrasound components - fully utilising the two companies' complementary expertise and product focus areas.
