Svanehoj has acquired Dutch marine instrumentation specialist Henri Systems Holland B.V., expanding its tank gauging technologies for LNG and LPG applications while strengthening its global aftermarket capabilities.

The transaction, which closed July 1, is Svanehoj’s second acquisition of 2026, following its purchase of pump service company H&K Services in May. Together, the acquisitions broaden the company’s technology portfolio and enhance its service capabilities in the maritime and energy sectors.

Henri Systems designs and manufactures tank level gauges, overfill protection systems, high-level alarms and monitoring electronics for LNG and LPG carriers. The company also provides installation, commissioning, maintenance, calibration and inspection services, as well as tank gauging systems for pressurized land-based storage installations.

Svanehoj said the acquisition complements its existing Tank Control Systems business by adding LPG tank gauging technology and expanding its installed base of marine cargo measurement and safety equipment. The larger installed fleet is also expected to support growth in the company’s aftermarket business for inspection, maintenance and spare parts.

“Henri Systems is a strong strategic fit to Svanehoj,” said Morten Christian Larsen, president of Svanehoj Group. “Its product portfolio and deep expertise in LPG tank gauging complement our existing LNG capabilities and broaden our offering to gas carrier customers.”

Henri Systems will continue operating from its headquarters in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands, as part of Svanehoj’s Tank Control Systems business. Svanehoj said the initial focus will be maintaining continuity for customers before gradually integrating the company’s operations into its global organization.

The acquisition also builds on an existing relationship between the companies. Svanehoj already performs a significant share of the service work on vessels equipped with Henri Systems products, providing the company with experience supporting the installed equipment worldwide.

Svanehoj manufactures marine pumps, compressors and tank gauging systems for LNG, LPG and other liquefied gas applications, serving both marine and land-based storage markets. The company is part of ITT Inc.’s Flow Technologies business.
