Acquisition builds on additional Market Sectors

The acquisition of spectrometers, imaging and sensing products distributor Spectrecology LLC, is set to boost Salvo Technologies’ manufacturing base, adding complementary solutions for the educational and environmental markets.

“This acquisition is exciting for many reasons,” said Hugh Garvey, Director of Imaging and Sensing at Salvo Technologies. “Spectrecology has a unique platform and deep customer knowledge base. Mike Morris and his team have been in the spectroscopy field for decades. He invented the miniature spectrometer when he started Ocean Optics. To have someone on the team like that is super exciting to me. By leveraging his years of experience and his network of customers, Salvo is taking a gigantic leap forward in the space!”

 “It’s exciting to be connected with an aggressive, dynamic group like the Salvo Technologies team,” said Mike Morris, owner of Spectrecology. “The energy and excitement surrounding the team, along with its extremely fast growth trajectory, are reminiscent of Ocean Optics in the early years. In addition, having access to the company’s deep bench of photonics experts allows me to do what I love, which is to create exciting products that solve real-world problems.”

Salvo Technologies said it would continue to notify customers and suppliers of the news and that there would be no changes in service or supply in the near term. It will look at consolidating operations to increase efficiency in the future, a spokesperson said.
