KPM Analytics, Inc., a Union Park Capital portfolio company, announced it has acquired Bruins Instruments, a German-based manufacturer of high-resolution near-infrared (NIR) reflectance and transmission analyzers. Founded in 1979 by Hans Joachim Bruins, the Company has a long history of manufacturing monochromators that became the core of the early near-infrared business for grain analysis. The acquisition demonstrates KPM Analytics' commitment to the NIR Analyzer market as the company continues to invest in near-infrared technology focusing on food ingredients and food products.
"With this acquisition, KPM Analytics has significantly enhanced its NIR line of product offerings," stated Brian Mitchell, KPM Analytics CEO. "The addition of Bruins Instruments complements our existing offerings and completes the KPM near-infrared line of products, from our QuickChek Analyzer Series to the industry-leading SpectraStar XT Analyzer Series."
