Luna Acquires Silixa

Luna Innovations acquired Silixa on December 21, 2023. 

Recognized as an award-winning innovator, Silixa has developed a reputation for revolutionizing multiple industries. Offering a distinct portfolio of distributed sensing solutions shaped by 15 years of pioneering research and application, delivering end-to-end solutions that enable temperature, strain, and acoustic measurements at the highest fidelity – even in the most hostile settings. 

This acquisition, paired with Luna’s already robust fiber optic sensing catalog, strengthens Luna’s vision of enabling the future with fiber.

"The addition of Silixa not only elevates the portfolio of solutions we already offer in our key end markets, but also further strengthens our position as an enabler of energy transition by extending our reach into exciting new growth sectors, such as carbon capture and storage, as well as into monitoring processes that will help sustain ecosystems and safeguard fragile environments. Silixa brings important technology capabilities and strong talent that we expect to leverage across our EMEA footprint, which we expect will drive profitable growth across our European enterprise.”

 - Scott Graeff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luna.
