IMDEX confirmed January 12 it will wholly acquire Advanced Logic Technology and its subsidiary, Mount Sopris Instruments.
The milestone marks a significant extension of IMDEX’s global leadership in subsurface data, which will create the industry’s most advanced subsurface intelligence system.
ALT, headquartered in Luxembourg, is the global leader in high-performance downhole rock property sensor systems and geoscience data processing software. Renowned for its flagship WellCAD software, ALT serves over 500 clients in more than 120 countries, pioneering digital innovation and reliability in mining, geotechnical, groundwater, geothermal, and oil and gas sectors.
MSI, based in Denver, Colo., is a leading U.S. manufacturer and distributor of geophysical equipment and software for subsurface investigations. With a legacy dating back to 1951, MSI specialises in slimline geophysical logging systems, rugged winches, and advanced data acquisition units, with equipment deployed in over 120 countries.
The integration of ALT and MSI into the IMDEX family is a strategic move that broadens IMDEX’s sensor portfolio with complementary industry-leading optical and acoustic televiewer, plus a suite of complementary rock property sensors. It also widens its digital portfolio, integrating industry standard WellCAD software with IMDEX digital solutions to deliver a single unified platform that drives recurring digital revenue and empowers faster, smarter decisions.
It will substantially increase the volume of orebody knowledge obtainable for customers, meeting the rising industry demand for a richer characterisation of rocks using downhole data collection, and also expand IMDEX’s offerings in adjacent earth systems markets, including infrastructure, civil, environmental, groundwater and energy, using the ALT global channel partner network.
The acquisition allows IMDEX to deliver improved end-to-end solutions for resource companies, drilling contractors, and geotechnical clients worldwide; expanded technical capability and product integration, ensuring seamless data acquisition, processing, and visualisation; stronger global support through a combined network of sales, training, and after-sales service; and accelerated innovation in digital earth knowledge, supporting smarter, faster decision-making and sustainable growth.
“The acquisition of ALT and MSI is another transformative step for IMDEX, strengthening our position as a global leader in digital earth knowledge and subsurface intelligence. By integrating ALT’s world-class sensors and WellCAD software package and MSI’s market-leading borehole geophysical equipment with IMDEX’s ecosystem, we are uniquely positioned to deliver actionable insights, operational efficiency, and value to our customers across the mining, geotechnical, and energy sectors,” said IMDEX managing director and CEO Paul House.
“This transaction accelerates our strategy to provide a unified, open platform for earth systems data, supporting smarter, faster decision-making and sustainable growth. We look forward to welcoming ALT and MSI to IMDEX and working with them closely over the coming months.”
Integration work is in progress, and customers can expect a seamless transition, enhanced support, and exciting new capabilities.
