Through this acquisition, LK Metrology can now offer its customers an even wider range of products for inspection and measurement from a single source, from traditional CMMs, portable measuring arms and laser scanners to high-resolution X-ray equipment and CT analysis. Both companies will work closely together to further develop existing CT systems and deliver new, flexible, integrated metrology solutions of the highest precision to customers worldwide.

Angelo Muscarella, CEO of LK Metrology said: “With the acquisition of Procon X-Ray, we are strengthening our position as a leading, full-service provider in metrology. Industrial CT imaging perfectly complements our existing CMM and scanning technologies.”

Nikolas Westphal, Managing Director of Procon X-Ray added: “We are pleased to become part of the international LK Group and, through its outstanding global presence, to make our market-leading products accessible to a significantly wider customer base.”
