　　此次收購是思百吉擴展新的技術平臺的能力進一步驗證，為思百吉高利潤和現金增值財務狀況提供新的增長來源。

　　 思百吉是一家受人尊敬、歷史悠久的制造精密儀器儀表及控制設備的公司，總部設在英國，公司在全球30多個國家開展業務，員工8000余人，年收入超20億加元。

　　ESG總裁Ken Arnold表示這是一次戰略性重組，他認為成為一個跨國集團公司的一部分有很多優勢，思百吉管理層對投資和開發ESG的技術非常感興趣，我們很高興能夠借助思百吉集團的專業優勢繼續實現增長，為我們的全球客戶提供更有價值的服務。

　　展望未來，ESG將繼續開發業界領先的微震技術，比如其ZLHybrid系統、Whip-array、正在申請ZL的SMTI高級分析服務等。“ESG一直在微震技術和加工發展的最前沿，” ESG全球能源服務執行副總裁Ted Urbancic 博士說，“通過與思百吉這一新的伙伴關系，我們將繼續在分析和產品研發方面投入資金，以確保我們的客戶得到了業界最高質量和最先進技術的解決方案。”

This acquisition is further demonstration of Spectris' ability to expand into new technology platforms that provide additional sources of growth and that fit the Spectris financial profile of attractive margins and strong cash generation."

　　Spectris is a well-respected and long-established supplier of productivity-enhancing instrumentation and controls. Headquartered and listed in the UK, Spectris has annual revenues of over CAD$2 billion and employs over 8,000 people in more than 30 countries.
