Senstronic Expands with Acquisition of Selet Sensors

In a significant move to strengthen its presence in the Italian market, Senstronic, a French company known for its advanced sensing and connection solutions for industrial automation and onboard applications, has acquired Selet Sensors and LCA Ballauri. These acquisitions, facilitated by Andera Partners’ portfolio and assisted by Ethica Group's M&A Advisory team, will allow Senstronic to create a center of industrial excellence in high-tech sensors. Selet Sensors specializes in innovative sensor technology for agricultural machinery and earth movement, with a strong commitment to sustainability, while LCA Ballauri excels in high-performance sensors for critical railway applications. This strategic expansion follows the acquisition of Metallux AG in Germany, bringing Senstronic's total revenue to over 50 million euros. The merger is expected to enhance technological know-how sharing, complement market offerings, and bolster innovation capabilities, with plans to continue investing and expanding both domestically and internationally. Donato Orlando will lead Italian market operations, and Carlo Ballauri will retain a minority ownership and manage LCA Ballauri.
