Industrial Control Solutions (ICS) has acquired Duro-Sense Corporation, combining Duro-Sense's four decades of precision temperature-sensor expertise with ICS's broad portfolio of sensing and control technologies. This creates a stronger organization capable of delivering more integrated solutions.
Duro-Sense customers will continue to receive the same high-quality thermocouples and RTDs they've trusted for over forty years, while gaining access to significantly expanded resources. Duro-Sense now joins ICS's family of instrumentation brands—including Thomas Products, Whitman Controls, and Load Controls—giving customers convenient access to temperature, pressure, level, flow, and power-monitoring products from a single supplier. This simplifies procurement, reduces administrative burden, and supports more efficient project planning.
Financial backing from LDR Partners LP provides growth capital for continued innovation in temperature measurement technology, offering long-term stability to customers in demanding industries such as aerospace, industrial processing, and energy. Manufacturing partners and suppliers benefit from ICS's established supply chain relationships and purchasing power, with potential opportunities extending beyond traditional temperature sensor applications.
The Carson, California, facility continues to operate with the same experienced engineering and manufacturing teams, maintaining existing customer relationships and service processes. Over time, customers will have access to ICS's broader technical resources, striking a balance between continuity and enhanced capability.
This integration particularly benefits industries where Duro-Sense excels, such as aerospace companies requiring extreme-precision measurements, complex industrial processes, and power-generation facilities. CEO Matt Powers emphasized the strategic value of pairing Duro-Sense's specialized expertise with ICS's broader product lines, enabling multidisciplinary teams to optimize entire control systems.
With ICS's financial and technical backing, Duro-Sense can accelerate the development of new products and advance next-generation sensing solutions. As industrial systems become increasingly integrated and data-driven, having a supplier offering multiple sensing technologies with unified engineering support and long-term stability becomes increasingly valuable. The acquisition represents a strategic investment that affirms the importance of precision temperature measurement, while also adding new capabilities and opportunities for innovation.
