San Diego, CA, April 26, 2006 -- Business is up and SonTek/YSI is
keeping ahead of the current.
SonTek/YSI has announced plans to increase its research and development
talent pool by adding at least a dozen new engineering, technical, and sales
positions. It will also turn its San Diego headquarters into an electronics and
software "Center of Excellence". This move is in response to parent company YSI,
Inc.'s broader vision to align its business strategy with a rapidly growing,
international demand for sophisticated outdoor water monitoring systems.
"Building on our existing R&D intelligence is taking the business to the next
level", said Peter Dierauer, Vice President of Technology. "Water scarcity and
quality, along with climate change issues around the world, continue to present
challenges and opportunities that can benefit from an augmentation of
progressive technology expertise and applications knowledge", said Dierauer.
SonTek manufactures acoustic Doppler instrumentation for water velocity
measurement in oceans, rivers, lakes, harbors, estuaries, and laboratories.
Dierauer mentioned a few new benefits customers could expect as a result of
an expanded R&D team.
- Access to recent advances in emerging technologies, concentrated in San
Diego's high-tech clusters.
- Simplified software that compliments SonTek systems and streamlines the
data collection process.
- More innovative ways to apply precision-based acoustic technology in
coastal and inland applications.
Dierauer said he anticipates SonTek/YSI will attract new and talented
resources globally.
