DwyerOmega, a precision measurement and control solutions manufacturer backed by Arcline Investment Management, has acquired Lake Shore Cryotronics in a deal that strengthens its position in specialized instrumentation. The Westerville, Ohio-based target brings expertise in cryogenic temperature measurement and magnetic field analysis to the combined entity.

Lake Shore Cryotronics, founded in 1968, serves research and industrial markets requiring precise measurement solutions for extreme conditions. Its product portfolio includes cryostats, material characterization equipment, and sensors designed for temperatures near absolute zero. Michael Swartz leads the company as president and CEO, though financial terms of the transaction remain undisclosed.

The acquisition expands DwyerOmega's capabilities in scientific instrumentation, particularly for quantum computing and advanced materials research sectors where cryogenic measurement plays an essential role. This adds to Arcline Investment's portfolio of industrial technology companies following their backing of the buyer.

Strategically, the deal consolidates measurement expertise in high-growth scientific markets while giving DwyerOmega access to Lake Shore's established customer base in academic and government research facilities. The combination creates a more comprehensive provider of precision instruments for emerging technology applications.
