Battery Ventures, a global, technology-focused investment firm, has reached an agreement to acquire imc Test & Measurement (“imc”), a global provider of productive test and measurement hardware and software solutions. Joining Battery’s group of companies in the test and measurement market, imc will operate alongside U.S.-based Audio Precision and Denmark-based GRAS Sound & Vibration, which were acquired by Battery in 2018 and 2020, respectively. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1988, imc is a well-known provider of state-of-the-art data acquisition systems and software. The company serves customers in markets such as automotive, energy, rail and aerospace, among others.

In partnership with Battery, Audio Precision and GRAS, imc will continue its long-standing tradition of pursuing growth across the sectors it serves. Joining forces with Audio Precision and GRAS, imc will benefit from business synergies across the group of companies and drive its future growth through technology development, expansion of production capabilities and an increased global market reach.

Operations for imc will continue to be based in Germany and the company’s executive team will remain in place, working closely with the group CEO Mike Flaherty to manage the business. “We are excited to welcome imc to our platform of test and measurement companies. Its highly-engineered data acquisition systems are extremely complementary to our existing portfolio of sensors and analyzers from GRAS and Audio Precision, and will broaden the market exposure of our group, enabling us to serve our customers even more effectively in the future,” said Flaherty. “We also look forward to working together to pursue additional complementary acquisitions for the group.”

“After thirty-three years of founder ownership and steady growth, this partnership brings imc many new benefits as we continue to accelerate growth globally,” said imc CEO Kai Gilbert. “We anticipate many synergies and look forward to working with Audio Precision, GRAS and Battery as we continue to develop imc’s business and deliver market-leading products to our customers.”
