Keysight buys UK-based asset management firm

Keysight Technologies continues to build its test equipment support services business and it has bought a UK-based repair and asset management services company.

The test services business is new focus for Keysight following last year’s separation from Agilent Technologies life sciences businesses.

Electroservices Enterprises, which is based in Telford, carries out electrical, mechanical and physical calibration, repair and asset management services to defence, telecoms and industrial customers.

“This move demonstrates a commitment to offer customers in Europe a rapidly expanding spectrum of high-quality support services covering their full range of assets,” said Chris Rennie, managing director of Keysight Technologies UK.

Keysight said lats year that it wanted to grow its calibration services business. It also aid it would add an asset management business and training services.

Keysight has identified the services business as a growth opportunity, perhaps growing faster than the hardware test market which has matured to steady, but not exceptional growth rates in recent years.

“We believe the services side of the business will be a big differentiator, it can sustain and support the hardware/software test business,” says Rennie.
