Schneider Electric has acquired Dinel, a French company that designs, develops, manufactures, and markets optoelectronic products.
Founded in 1980 and based in Gournay-en-Bray, France, Dinel generates roughly 3.4 million euros in annual sales, of which 42 percent are from outside France. The Dinel product lineup includes optoelectronic amplifiers and sensors, glass and plastic fiber optic sensors, transparent product sensors, LASER sensors, and contrast sensors.
With Dinel, Schneider Electric said it has extended its current wide range of electromechanical, photoelectric, inductive, capacitive and ultrasonic sensors, with the goal of better serving customer needs for innovative, high value-added products.
