Farmington Hills, Michigan-based Humanetics, a global company involved in the design, manufacture and supply of anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs), calibration equipment, crash sensor instrumentation and crash software modelling recently announced that it will subsume ATD-LabTech GmbH, a company working on ATD certification equipment and comprehensive ATD lab management software. The partnership is a step toward Humanetics bringing to life its concept of a digitally operated and fully integrated set of solutions which will combine testing equipment, sensor technologies and integrated software. Humanetics and ATD-LabTech have been working together for a long time, in a strategic partnership. The companies together share a vision and a mission for digitising and transforming the ATD certification lab with an advanced level of automation, to help clients drive efficiency in their processes and enhance productivity throughout the lab.
Chris O’Connor, CEO and President of Humanetics commented: “Our partnership with ATD-LabTech is another important piece of our vision. Their certification equipment is beautifully engineered, and integrated with smart, easy-to-use software interfaces. As users of their products, we can confidently say that Gerhard and his team have a deep understanding of the needs of our customers, and they have an extraordinary commitment to develop superior solutions to meet and exceed those needs.”
Gerhard Pfeiffer, Managing Director of ATD-LabTech said: “We are very excited to join Humanetics. Naturally, there is a great fit between our ATD certification products and services and Humanetics’ broader portfolio of safety solutions. Most importantly, however, we share the same progressive vision for how we can bring the best quality solutions to our customers that simplify the calibration process and reduce the time it takes to get the ATDs ready for their next crash test.”
Established in 2015 by Gerhard Pfeifer in Niedernberg, Germany, ATD-LabTech has designed and devised the industry’s suite of ATD certification test equipment. Mr Pfeifer will continue to lead the business and his team will continue to operate out of their current location post-acquisition.
