IMC Group Acquires Digital Test Equipment Experts Horizon Global Holdings

HORIZON is a well-known brand to TELE-audiovision readers. Since 2005 we have presented all their new signal meters in extensive test reports. Each time their products were on top of the technology. An equally prominent and quality obsessed company is the IMC Group, based in Letchworth (Herford-shire) in the North of London.

The IMC Group Limited was formed in 2007 by the amalgamation of Lamer-holm Electronics Limited, Hanwell In-struments Limited and Jekyll Electronic Technology Limited. More recently, The IMC Group has acquired Silvertree En-gineering Limited. The group has over

100 years of experience in environmen-tal monitoring and offers a compre-hensive range of instrumentation and communication systems. The group’s production range runs from small batches to thousands of units.

Apart from the newly acquired HORI-ZON brand The IMC Group trades under these 4 brand names:

HANWELL: Environmental monitor-ing and control solutions. HANWELL of-fers over 100 data loggers, radio and GPRS transmitters to cover parameters as energy, temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, Lux & UV, dust, insect pest control, CO2, pressure and many

more. Users are given the tools to ac-curately measure and monitor areas with potential risk of damage either in rooms or objects within building, in transit or even in remote locations.

ICESPY: Wireless temperature moni-toring solutions. The ICESPY system is used mainly in the food, pharmaceuti-cal and healthcare sectors to wirelessly monitor temperatures within fridges, cold rooms, storage facilities, vehi-cles, warehouses, laboratory equip-ment such as freezers and incubators. The ICESPY wireless monitoring system consists of transmitters that log, store and send readings to its base and data

can be downloaded to either a single PC, IT network or to the Internet.

SHOCKLOG: Shock sensor and re-corder assisting with damage preven-tion. Shock, vibration and unaccepta-ble environmental conditions can cause damage. By monitoring shock critical goods in place or in transit, SHOCK-LOG enables users to not only reduce potential hazards and risks associated with critical damage but also the costly repairs and replacements after irrepa-rable damage has ocurred.

SHOCKWATCH: Provides preventa-tive solutions for damaged cargo. The SHOCKWATCH range is deployed by thousands of the world’s largest com-panies to detect shipment damage, whether that is impact, temperature and/or tilt. SHOCKWATCH are self ad-hesive devices that stick directly onto the package and are activated for the length of the journey.

Adding to these brands is now HORI-ZON, which designs, manufacture and distribute high quality satellite, cable and terrestrial signal strength meters. HORIZON now has repair and service centers in the UK, Germany, USA and India.

The acquisition of HORIZON fits per-fectly into the specialisation in elec-tronic instrumentaion of The IMC Group and strong brand identity. HORIZON is currently based only 30 minutes from IMC’s UK HQ and will be quickly inte-grated into The IMC Group at its Letch-worth facility to ensure the smoothest adoption takes place, and full assis-tance will be given to all employees to ensure the whole experience is as posi-tive as possible.

IMC Group Managing Director Ian Robinson said: “IMC has doubled in size due to our focus on new technology as proactive designers and creators of in-novative instrumentation products and this latest acquisition fits ideally into our future expansion plans and brings to the Group an opportunity to diver-sify with a new range of products in different markets, with the benefit of a strong brand name.“

He added: “The IMC Group was formed and subsequently grown from a series of mergers and acquisitions and we shall be continuing that growth both organically and by further acquisi-tions,” TELE-audiovision is preparing a more detailed Company Report on IMC for a later magazine issue.
