German dynamic measurement technology developer 657 Kistler Group has acquired eso, which manufactures portable speed measurement, in a deal which will enable Kistler to expand into traffic safety.

The technologies developed by eso will play a central role in the development of future applications.

Since its foundation 40 years ago, eso developed traffic enforcement products that meet the highest technological standards and are used by law enforcement agencies and local authorities. Most recently, the company launched its new ES 8.0 generation of products, which has been certified in a number of countries.

"This step enables us to significantly expand our client base and improve our range of products and services for the traffic industry," said Rolf Sonderegger, CEO of the Kistler Group.
