Industrial Scientific, a division of Fortive Corporation that specializes in industrial safety and environmental solutions, announced on December 3, 2025 that it has acquired Aeroqual, a New Zealand‑based leader in real‑time air‑quality monitoring. The deal brings Aeroqual’s advanced sensor and analytics technology into Industrial Scientific’s portfolio, positioning the company to offer end‑to‑end monitoring solutions across industrial, healthcare, and environmental markets.
The acquisition is a strategic fit for Industrial Scientific’s mission to “end death on the job” by 2050. Aeroqual’s hardware and software for continuous air‑quality measurement complement Industrial Scientific’s existing gas‑detection and safety‑sensing products, creating a broader suite of real‑time monitoring solutions that can be deployed in factories, hospitals, and outdoor environments. By integrating Aeroqual’s expertise, Industrial Scientific can accelerate the rollout of connected safety platforms and deepen its presence in the growing ESG‑driven demand for real‑time environmental data.
Fortive’s Q3 2025 results, released on October 29, 2025, provide context for the acquisition. The company reported revenue of $1.03 billion, up 2.3 % year‑over‑year, and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.68, a 15.3 % increase. Fortive raised its full‑year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $2.63‑$2.67 from $2.50‑$2.60, reflecting confidence in continued growth and margin strength. The acquisition aligns with Fortive’s “Accelerated” strategy, which seeks to build on its Intelligent Operating Solutions and Advanced Healthcare Solutions segments by adding complementary capabilities that can be cross‑sold to existing customers.
Segment analysis shows that Intelligent Operating Solutions generated $699 million in revenue in Q3 2025, while Advanced Healthcare Solutions produced $328 million. The Aeroqual acquisition is expected to feed into both segments: the sensor technology can be embedded in Industrial Scientific’s industrial safety devices and integrated into healthcare monitoring platforms, creating new revenue streams and reinforcing Fortive’s focus on connected workflow solutions. The addition also supports Fortive’s goal of expanding its portfolio of high‑margin, recurring‑revenue products.
Industrial Scientific’s president, who highlighted the strategic fit, said the acquisition “strengthens our ability to deliver comprehensive safety and environmental monitoring solutions that protect workers and the planet.” Fortive CEO Olumide Soroye has emphasized the company’s confidence in its accelerated growth strategy, noting that the acquisition is part of a broader effort to deepen Fortive’s technology base and enhance shareholder value.
