Press Release KenMar Instrumentation Hardware LLC is pleased to announce its acquisition of Gilchrist Technology, Inc (GTI). GTI is a highly respected manufacturer of transmitters and other products related to the vibration monitoring industry. With this acquisition, KenMar elevates it's already stellar supplier reputation within the rapidly expanding multi-billion dollar industry of Condition Monitoring Equipment. "Gilchrist products are a natural fit." says KenMar VP Operations, Keith Nesbitt. "By adding GTI products into our diverse product line of condition monitoring equipment, we enhance an already remarkable product line. Especially exciting is the addition of the Gilchrist 3503 transmitter, which has isolation between the 4-20 ma and the dynamic signal outputs. It is not affected by 60 HZ contamination nor any effect on the DC gap signals when an external instrument is attached to the dynamic signal output. In fact, even with a direct short on the dynamic signal output there is no effect on the 4-20 ma output of the Gilchrist transmitter." Gilchrist Technology, Inc. is a world leader in innovative and quality vibration monitoring and calibration instrumentation and will expand KenMar's reach into the condition monitoring market with its capability to offer a complete solution to clients. The acquired GTI product line features everything from sophisticated web accessible condition and vibration monitors to inexpensive but reliable 4-20mA galvanically isolated loop transmitters. These transmitters convert mechanical energy (vibration, temperature or axial) into isolated 4-20ma data. Gilchrist Technology, Inc. was founded by Ben Middleton in 1999 after spending the majority of his life working in the field of vibration analysis as an employee for some of the major companies involved in this field. Since founding Gilchrist Technology, Ben's specialty has been creating new electronic based products to improve and advance the field of Vibration Analysis. With the completion of the sale, Ben Middleton plans on spending his time with his lovely wife Barbara. KenMar Instrumentation Hardware LLC is a recent spin-off of KenMar Instrumentation Services LLC. Margery Cook, president of both companies, said, "Since 2003 we have specialized in providing experts on condition monitoring systems for rotating machinery, primarily in vibration and vibration analysis. Our service reps have over 185 years experience in this industry. But in order to allow us to keep our focus on service, we felt the need to establish a separate company to provide the hardware required by our power generation and oil refining customers." With this acquisition, which became final July 9th 2011, GTI became wholly owned by KenMar Instrumentation Hardware LLC. Beginning immediately KenMar will execute a planned integration of the two companies to ensure a smooth transition and no disruption to the delivery of the quality products that GTI is known for in the industry.
