Lebow will become part of Honeywell's sensing and control business unit, expanding the company's range of load cell products and torque sensors
Honeywell has announced an agreement to acquire Lebow, a manufacturer of automotive and aerospace force and torque sensors and load cells based in Troy, Michigan.
Lebow will become part of Honeywell's sensing and control business unit.
Consummation of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2005.
"The acquisition of Lebow expands our offering of load-cell products, but even more exciting is it takes us to an entirely new level in our offering of torque sensors," said Ron Sansom, president of Honeywell's Sensing and control group.
"Ultimately, this acquisition significantly increases solutions we offer customers in the test-and-measurement world".
Honeywell's sensing and control manufactures sensors, switches, machine safeguarding and other devices for a variety of original-equipment-manufacturer applications in automotive, aviation, medical, information technology, consumer appliance and industrial businesses.
Other recent acquisitions made by Honeywell's sensing and control business unit include Sensotec in 2003 and Invensys Sensor Systems in 2002.
Honeywell Sensing and Control is a business unit of Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions.
