ABB Boosts Custody Transfer Business With Spirit IT Purchase

随着更多第三方服务提供商在石油和天然气领域的播放，监护权转移已成为业务中更重要的一部分。准确的测量至关重要。

The acquisition complements ABB’s Measurement Products portfolio with a more comprehensive automation solution for liquids and gas, noted Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB Process Automation division, when the acquisition was first announced. It adds liquid measurement to ABB’s gas measurement and automation product line, and provides new opportunities for growth in the oil and gas segment, boosting its offering in smart metering and control for custody transfer.

“ABB offers tremendous opportunity for Spirit IT’s flow computer technology to reach a wider range of applications in the global market,” said Harry Kok, president for Spirit IT. “In addition to helping Spirit IT broaden its product line to address new opportunities, this acquisition will also provide a great opportunity for our employees to expand their career options in a much larger global organization.”

Spirit IT’s employees will join the global Measurement Products business unit in ABB’s Process Automation division. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
