Argus acquires Seelaus Instrument
The Argus Group has acquired the Seelaus Instrument Company of Cincinnati.
Seelaus sells industrial instruments, provides field service for those products, and offers bench calibration of pressure and temperature sensors and gauges. Argus offers similar instrumentation sales and service, but supports these items with a full range of products for its broader mission of safety, hygiene and environmental monitoring.
"The acquisition of Seelaus Instrument Company allows us to provide more service, offer more product options, and bring more depth to their existing customers," said Jay Fitzgerald, chairman of the Argus Group, a provider of comprehensive safety, industrial hygiene and environmental monitoring products and services. "Seelaus increases our presence in southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and southern Indiana, enhances our field service capabilities, and expands our already formidable line of instrument offerings."
The Cincinnati office of Seelaus will be combined with the Dayton office of Argus at a new location in Miamisburg, Ohio. In addition, Argus maintains sales and service offices at its headquarters in Chesterfield, Mich., as well as in Grand Rapids, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Toronto, and Sarnia, Ontario.
Argus was advised in this transaction by Transworld Business Advisors of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
