Sensirion Holding AG completed its acquisition of Qmicro B.V., an OEM supplier of miniaturized gas-analysis technologies. 
 
Qmicro, based in Enschede, The Netherlands, develops, manufactures, and supplies micro gas analyzers based on microelectromechanical (MEMS) gas chromatography (GC) technology. 
 
With this acquisition, Sensirion expands its gas sensing portfolio from components and modules to stand-alone micro gas analyzers for industrial applications. 
 
According to Sensirion, many industrial applications require high selectivity and accuracy of gas composition measurements. 
 
Micro gas-chromatography technology allows to very selectively and accurately determine the constituents of gas mixtures, enabling Sensirion to expand its gas-sensing offering for its customers from components and modules aimed at high-volume applications to micro gas analyzers addressing high-end applications.
 
Qmicro was founded in 2013, has 16 employees, and offers very compact, easy-to-use micro gas analyzers based on its MEMS-GC technology. 
 
Core applications of Qmicro’s analyzers include the determination of the calorific value of natural gas in distribution networks, monitoring the composition of gas mixtures used in industrial processes, and future environmental monitoring. Qmicro’s and Sensirion’s end markets partially overlap and partially complement each other. 
 
“Sensirion very cordially welcomes all Qmicro employees and looks forward to further developing the Enschede location as a competence center for micro gas analyzers,” said Marc von Waldkirch, CEO of Sensirion.
