Vibration Sensing Expert Joins Measurement Specialties
FAIRFIELD, N.J., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Measurement Specialties
(AMEX:MSS) announced today that Anthony Chu has joined the company as Director,
Vibration Sensors Business Unit. He will lead MSI Sensors' global initiative to
significantly expand its accelerometer and vibration sensing business with
customers in the automotive, medical, military/aerospace and consumer goods
industries.
Mr. Chu has 25 years of engineering and marketing experience in the sensor
industry with a special emphasis on piezoelectric and piezoresistive sensor
designs and MEMs development. He is an internationally known authority and
published author on the subjects of shock measurement and accelerometers. Mr.
Chu brings to his new position at MSI Sensors an extensive network of
relationships in the military, aerospace and automotive markets throughout
North America, Europe and Asia. Mr. Chu is fluent in Chinese, which will
facilitate his work with MSI Sensors' engineering and manufacturing center in
Shenzhen, China.
For more than two decades, Mr. Chu worked at Endevco(R), a division of Meggitt
PLC, in roles of increasing responsibility. Most recently, as Director of
Product Management, he managed the entire Endevco(R) product line of
piezoelectric, silicon MEMs and electronic systems products. Mr. Chu also held
leadership positions in marketing, manufacturing and engineering design.
"We are thrilled to bring on a talent such as Anthony Chu to further develop
our growing portfolio of vibration sensing technologies," noted Vic Chatigny,
Vice President and General Manager of MSI Sensors. "Mr. Chu will build on the
platform we've established with our capabilities in silicon MEMs, piezoelectric
polymer film, piezoelectric ceramic, bonded gage and accelerometer
miniaturization through our recent Entran acquisition."
Mr. Chu commented: "I see great opportunity for MSI Sensors in vibration
sensing because of the company's uniquely broad technology portfolio. Our
expanded toolbox provides competitive advantage because we can choose the best
possible way to solve customer problems and achieve high performance at very
competitive costs."
The global market for MEMS accelerometers continues to grow as OEMS increase
their use of the miniature sensors in everything from automobiles to medical
devices to durable goods such as washing machines. Accelerometers enable "smart
sensing" to enhance vehicle safety, monitor human motion or make consumer
products operate more efficiently with less human intervention.
Measurement Specialties, Inc. designs and manufactures sensors and sensor-based
consumer products. The Sensor division, also known as MSI Sensors, produces a
wide variety of sensors and transducers to measure precise ranges of physical
characteristics such as pressure, force, vibration, motion, position, tilt,
flow and distance. MSI Sensors uses multiple advanced technologies -- including
piezoresistive, electro-optic, electro-magnetic, capacitive, application
specific integrated circuits (ASICs), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS),
piezoelectric polymers and strain gauges -- to engineer sensors that operate
precisely and cost effectively.
