HAMPTON, Va., Sept. 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Measurement Specialties, Inc. (Nasdaq:MEAS) (the "Company"), a global designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensor-based systems, announced today that they have entered into an exclusive license agreement with Sentelligence, leveraging their patented optical spectral technology.
Frank Guidone, Company CEO commented, "While we believe this technology has broad potential use in fluid property monitoring, the initial focus will be its application in urea quality sensing in SCR systems. MEAS is already a leading player in this exciting emerging market with our patented tuning fork technology; the Sentelligence license provides an alternate approach that will allow us to address a broader cross section of the market, and provides us more options with respect to our long term technology roadmap."
Rob Qualls, Sentelligence CEO added, "Measurement Specialties is a globally recognized company with state of the art research and development facilities, and a world class sales organization that brings a level of expertise to Sentelligence that will provide our urea technology the market exposure necessary to achieve commercial success."
