“Because we share many of the same customers in the same water monitoring market, this acquisition is extremely synergistic,” commented Omlor. “As an example, both companies include major water resource and environmental monitoring agencies among our largest users. Our customers will benefit from a seamless integration of product lines that have little overlap.”

William Fletcher, DAA founder, said “We couldn’t be more pleased to be joining the YSI group of companies. This relationship affords us not only access to international markets, but also capital for new investments. And, we like the fact that YSI has a solid track record of maintaining acquired companies’ cultures and staff, so we know that our name, employees, location, and strategic initiatives remain intact.”

Members of the Fletcher family will remain in key positions at DAA. The company's products will continue to be marketed under the WaterLog® brand name.
