Atomos has announced the acquisition of Flanders Scientific, aiming to enhance its offer across the entire production pipeline.
The strategic move allows the Atomos product portfolio to span the full spectrum of monitoring requirements, from on-camera, on-set and live production to post production and final delivery, said the company.
Flanders Scientific will continue to operate as a distinct brand, with no change to its product philosophy, engineering approach or standards.
Peter Barber, CEO of Atomos, said, “We are incredibly proud to welcome the Flanders Scientific team into Atomos. They have built a reputation for absolute precision and trust in reference monitoring, and that aligns perfectly with where we are taking the Atomos business. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to monitoring at every level, from on-camera through to final delivery, while also accelerating our ability to support the highest tier of professional production and post production workflows.
“By combining FSI’s expertise with our global scale and innovation, we are creating something truly unique for the industry. Just as importantly, we are committed to preserving what makes Flanders Scientific special. The brand, the philosophy, and the engineering approach will remain unchanged, while gaining the support and reach of the broader Atomos organisation.”
Bram Desmet, CEO of Flanders Scientific, added, “Joining Atomos is a significant and exciting moment for Flanders Scientific. FSI was built on the simple premise that professionals responsible for image fidelity deserve tools they can trust. That standard has never changed, and it won’t. What this partnership gives us is the infrastructure and reach to stand behind that promise for more customers, in more markets, more effectively than we could on our own. I’m excited about what we can deliver together — not just for the broadcast, digital imaging technician, and colourist communities we have always served, but for the broader production world that Atomos reaches every day. The best work FSI has ever done is still ahead of us.”
The announcement builds on Atomos’ broader investment in advanced display technologies and its ongoing development of the Studio Pro line, said the company.
