Environics Oy, a world leader in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) detection systems for government and security markets recently announced its joint venture with IUT Institut fuer Umwelttechnologien  GmbH based in Berlin Germany.

Hannu Salmi, President and CEO of Environics OY, said “the agreement will bring new technology to Environics for the government and security business but also expand the company’s capabilities into several new industrial markets, including the petrochemical process monitoring, environmental gas emissions and semiconductor production sectors. Prof. Dr. Leonhardt, CEO of IUT GmbH, underlined the joint interest, since IUT strengthens its position by having access to the Environics global distribution network.
