I-care strengthens its global leadership with the acquisition of SDT International
I-care is proud to announce a major step forward in its strategic development with the acquisition of SDT International, a long-standing Belgian company and pioneer in the field of ultrasound predictive maintenance.
This merger, dubbed “Harmonizing Waves”, brings together two complementary areas of expertise to serve a common ambition: to redefine global standards in predictive maintenance.
This acquisition reinforces Belgium’s position as the epicenter of innovation in predictive maintenance. SDT International, founded in 1975, brings to the I-care group its expertise in ultrasound technology, its worldwide distribution network and its philosophy based on the values of respect, flexibility and simplicity. The company will retain its historic headquarters in Forest and its operational autonomy, while benefiting from synergies with the I-care group.
A strategic alliance for customers and technologies
This merger marks a significant turning point for I-care customers. From now on, a single platform, I-see, will integrate complementary vibration and ultrasound predictive maintenance technologies. This centralized solution will considerably simplify the customer experience, offering a single tool for detecting anomalies, optimizing equipment performance, managing energy efficiency and controlling lubrication.
Technologically speaking, vibration and ultrasound – two key disciplines in predictive maintenance – are now combined on the same platform. This combination will provide even finer and more precise analysis of industrial assets, setting a new benchmark in equipment performance management.
The acquisition was entirely equity-financed, illustrating I-care’s financial strength and commitment to investing in strategic initiatives to reinforce its role as a global leader in the field.
“This strategic union marks an important milestone for I-care, reinforcing our global leadership role and illustrating our commitment to technological excellence and customer service.” Fabrice Brion, CEO of I-care.
