France - Digigram has acquired Grenoble-based OROS, the French specialist in noise and vibration testing systems. The amount of the transaction has not been disclosed.
Effective immediately, the acquisition expands the headcount to approximately 60 employees, with offices stretching from the headquarters in Montbonnot to the companies’ subsidiaries based in Singapore, the United States and China.
Similar to the recent acquisition of AuviTran in September 2023, Digigram and OROS will now join operations, encouraging teamwork to boost synergies. OROS will retain its brands and identity.
As a result, OROS management will increase its human and financial resources to support its development. "Digigram's contribution is a valuable leverage to support both the technical and commercial development of OROS, as engaged in 2023 with the release of O4," states Nicolas Denisot, product manager at OROS.
While the two companies already operate in different segments of the critical communications market, with customers in the civil and military aerospace (Airbus, GE Aircraft Engines, CAE) and maritime (US Naval Academy) sectors, their joint endeavours will increase their presence in the industrial, defence, security and transport markets, says a statement.
"Our fundamentals are very close, whether in terms of markets, strategic stance or human values, which is crucial to achieve a swift and seamless convergence," says Jérémie Weber, president of the Digigram group. "On many topics, OROS and Digigram speak the same language, always highlighting our French rooted expertise, a certain taste for innovation, and solutions applauded by our most demanding customers for their quality and reliability in critical environments.
“Together, OROS and Digigram will combine signal transport know-how with signal analysis expertise. This extensive approach opens up a whole world of possibilities to meet new needs and address increasingly comprehensive use cases," concludes Weber.
