Bertin Technologies has signed the agreement to acquire the Finnish company Environics. This transaction, backed by Bertin Technologies‘ owner FCDE (Fonds de Consolidation et de Développement des Entreprises) will result in the creation of a European leading player in Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) detection, identification and monitoring equipment and systems.
