Benford Capital Partners (“Benford Capital” or “BCP”), a Chicago-based private equity investment firm, and its portfolio company, R.M. Young Company, LLC (“R.M. Young”), are pleased to announce the acquisition of SensorLogic Inc. (“SensorLogic” or the “Company”).

Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Bozeman, MT, SensorLogic is a provider of radar-based sensors and instrumentation for snow, hydropower, and other environmental applications.

SensorLogic founder, Doug Roberts, will continue with the Company post-closing to expand distribution of SNOdar and other SensorLogic products in partnership with R.M. Young.

“SensorLogic is a highly complementary addition to R.M. Young and consistent with our goal of adding innovative sensor technologies to the platform,” said R.M. Young CEO Tom Young. “SNOdar will expand our covered environmental parameters and provide snow-depth measurement solutions that are important to many of our existing customers and enable us to address the needs of additional applications.”
