Pyrotemp has an established partnership with Endress+Hauser and is a distributor of its temperature transmitter technology. The company's current owners, Dennis Graham and Melvyn Bellis, will remain at the helm in the positions of managing director and technical director respectively.
"Pyrotemp's operations and its staff complement will not change. We will continue to serve our customers in the way that we are known for," says Graham. "There will be gradual integration into the Endress+Hauser group over the next few years and we are looking forward to expanding our product range and development capabilities."
Originally founded in 1969, Graham and Bellis purchased Pyrotemp from its founder in 1981 and have grown the business into the successful and reputable company that it is today.
Pyrotemp supplies its temperature sensors and associated products across a broad range of industries, with a concentration in the primaries sector. The company currently distributes throughout South Africa.
Graham notes that by entering into this deal with Endress+Hauser, the company is able to take advantage of the group's extensive research and development resources, as well as its distribution and sales network.
With positive growth in the temperature market locally, Tony Jacobsen, managing director, Endress+Hauser South Africa says that the acquisition makes sense from a strategic point of view.
