Harbour Group's Spotsee unit acquires Telatemp
THE REMAINDER OF THIS ARTICLE IS FOR SUBSCRIBERS SpotSee, an environmental monitoring device business that's part of Clayton-based Harbour Group, has acquired a California company in the same industry. SpotSee, an environmental monitoring device business that's part of Clayton-based Harbour Group, has acquired a California company in the same industry. ShockWatch Inc., which does business as SpotSee, has acquired Telatemp Corp., an Anaheim, California-based supplier of temperature and environmental monitoring devices. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Telatemp serves a variety of markets and has a particular expertise in the life sciences sector, Harbour Group officials said Wednesday in a press release. In addition to thermometers, temperature and humidity indicators, data loggers, and pH/salt meters, the company provides tilt indicators and drop recorders that visually indicate if a package has been mishandled, according to Telatemp's website. SpotSee, based in Dallas, develops and manufactures technology to monitor shock, vibration, temperature and other environmental conditions throughout the supply chain. Harbour Group acquired SpotSee in November 2019. The Telatemp brand will be retired and all products will be consolidated under the SpotSee brand, according to the company. Acquiring Telatemp expands SpotSee's product portfolio and strengthens its presence in life science applications, officials said. Officials said adding Telatemp's ColdSnap family of products is particularly key. ColdSnap monitors perishable products in transit or storage by recording exposure to a critical cooling temperature or a critical cooling and warming temperature, with a sensing element that "snaps" to permanently turn an indicating window from clear to bright red. Officials said the ColdSnap products are widely used in pharmaceutical and laboratory applications where freezing can negatively impact injectable drugs or tissues such as heart valves. 'By bringing Telatemp into the SpotSee portfolio, we're reinforcing our commitment to delivering best-in-class monitoring solutions for the safe transportation of vital products like heart valves and biologics," Tony Fonk, CEO of SpotSee, said in a statement. "We are very excited about the next chapter for Telatemp," Telatemp CEO Dan Stack said in a statement. "This business has been part of the Darringer family for many years and picking the right partner was critical to us. SpotSee and Harbour Group have great experience growing brands and serving customers like ours, so we think there are many good things to come for our customers with the combined business." SpotSee products include temperature, impact, tilt, vibration, humidity and liquid detection monitoring devices, available via visual, RFID, QR code, cellular or satellite connection. It serves the life sciences, energy, transportation, aerospace, defense, food, manufacturing and consumer products sectors. In addition to its Dallas base, it operates five facilities in Texas, Illinois, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Owned by the Fox family and led by Chairman and CEO Jeff Fox, Harbour Group is a holding company that buys manufacturing, distribution and specialty services companies. It reported 2023 revenue of $1.3 billion, and has 50 employees, all local, as of the second quarter of 2024.
