COMPANY REPORT

Signal Meter Manufacturer, HORIZON, UK

IMC Group Acquires


Digital Test Equipment
Experts Horizon
Global Holdings
HORIZON is a well-known brand to
TELE-audiovision readers. Since 2005
we have presented all their new signal
meters in extensive test reports. Each
time their products were on top of the
technology. An equally prominent and
quality obsessed company is the IMC
Group, based in Letchworth (Herfordshire) in the North of London.
The IMC Group Limited was formed
in 2007 by the amalgamation of Lamerholm Electronics Limited, Hanwell Instruments Limited and Jekyll Electronic
Technology Limited. More recently, The
IMC Group has acquired Silvertree Engineering Limited. The group has over

100 years of experience in environmental monitoring and offers a comprehensive range of instrumentation and
communication systems. The groups
production range runs from small
batches to thousands of units.
Apart from the newly acquired HORIZON brand The IMC Group trades under
these 4 brand names:
HANWELL: Environmental monitoring and control solutions. HANWELL offers over 100 data loggers, radio and
GPRS transmitters to cover parameters
as energy, temperature, humidity, wind
speed/direction, Lux & UV, dust, insect
pest control, CO2, pressure and many

Herfordshire

more. Users are given the tools to accurately measure and monitor areas
with potential risk of damage either
in rooms or objects within building, in
transit or even in remote locations.
ICESPY: Wireless temperature monitoring solutions. The ICESPY system is
used mainly in the food, pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors to wirelessly
monitor temperatures within fridges,
cold rooms, storage facilities, vehicles, warehouses, laboratory equipment such as freezers and incubators.
The ICESPY wireless monitoring system
consists of transmitters that log, store
and send readings to its base and data

signal meter manufacturer HORIZON

can be downloaded to either a single


PC, IT network or to the Internet.
SHOCKLOG: Shock sensor and recorder assisting with damage prevention. Shock, vibration and unacceptable environmental conditions can cause
damage. By monitoring shock critical
goods in place or in transit, SHOCKLOG enables users to not only reduce
potential hazards and risks associated
with critical damage but also the costly
repairs and replacements after irreparable damage has ocurred.
SHOCKWATCH: Provides preventative solutions for damaged cargo. The
SHOCKWATCH range is deployed by
thousands of the worlds largest companies to detect shipment damage,
whether that is impact, temperature
and/or tilt. SHOCKWATCH are self adhesive devices that stick directly onto
the package and are activated for the
length of the journey.
Adding to these brands is now HORIZON, which designs, manufacture and
distribute high quality satellite, cable
and terrestrial signal strength meters.
HORIZON now has repair and service
centers in the UK, Germany, USA and
India.
The acquisition of HORIZON fits perfectly into the specialisation in electronic instrumentaion of The IMC Group
and strong brand identity. HORIZON is
currently based only 30 minutes from
IMCs UK HQ and will be quickly integrated into The IMC Group at its Letchworth facility to ensure the smoothest
adoption takes place, and full assistance will be given to all employees to
ensure the whole experience is as positive as possible.
IMC Group Managing Director Ian
Robinson said: IMC has doubled in size
due to our focus on new technology as
proactive designers and creators of innovative instrumentation products and
this latest acquisition fits ideally into
our future expansion plans and brings
to the Group an opportunity to diversify with a new range of products in
different markets, with the benefit of a
strong brand name.
He added: The IMC Group was
formed and subsequently grown from
a series of mergers and acquisitions
and we shall be continuing that growth
both organically and by further acquisitions, TELE-audiovision is preparing a
more detailed Company Report on IMC
for a later magazine issue.
