or About Quest Technologies Press Release ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3M announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Quest Technologies Inc., a manufacturer of environmental monitoring equipment, including noise, heat stress and vibration monitors. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Quest Technologies adds its leading sound monitoring equipment to 3M’s broad spectrum of safety products for detection, protection and compliance. “Quest Technologies broadens our presence in the industrial hygiene and safety equipment markets by bringing its renowned sound monitoring technology to our strong offering of personal protective equipment,” said Julie Bushman, vice president and general manager, 3M Occupational Health and Environmental Safety Division. Occupational hearing loss is a serious problem. To help minimize the risk of hearing loss, noise dosimeters worn during work-shifts measure noise levels at all locations an employee visits. Quest’s noise dosimeter integrates an employee’s exposure to “sound over time” and calculates a number of values including “noise dose.” The noise dosimeter’s dosage value is then used to determine if the employee needs to enroll in a hearing conservation program. Sound level meters from Quest Technologies are instruments designed to react to noise much like the human ear. The sound measurements taken are compared to known standards to identify whether the noise level could have a detrimental effect on people located near the noise source. Quest also brings its heat stress monitors, which help to determine the appropriate work/rest regimens for workers in situations where heat stress is a life safety and liability risk by measuring exposure to temperature, humidity and radiant heat. 3M is a global leading supplier of respiratory, hearing, eye protection, and other personal protective equipment products, providing customers with innovative technologies and solutions that help increase personal safety and productivity in markets such as first responder, industrial manufacturing, automotive, shipbuilding, military, home improvement contractors and consumer. Quest employs approximately 95 people at its headquarters in Oconomowoc, Wis. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter, subject to customary closing conditions.

AMETEK’s principle concern was that its dosimeter customers continue to receive high-quality service and calibration support for their instruments. Effective immediately, Quest Technologies will provide that service to AMETEK’s global dosimeter customer base. As an A2LA-accredited laboratory, Quest Technologies welcomes AMETEK customers to contact them directly for their calibration and service needs at (800) 245-0779 or log onto www.quest-technologies.com/service for a secured return authorization form.

Did you know that soldiers sent to battle are over 50 times more likely to suffer noise-induced hearing loss? “Hazardous noise exposure is the greatest it has been for over 30 years due to the scope of military operations, extended training and an increase in number of combat forces,” states retired Air Force audiologist Theresa Schultz, PhD. Studies have continued to show an increase in hearing loss. According to the American Journal of Audiology, soldiers sent to the battle zones are over 50 times likely to suffer noise-induced hearing loss. The good news is that there are ways to combat hearing loss! Quest Technologies is an innovative leader in noise detection and sound analysis. In the fight against harmful noise levels, the SoundPro® SE/DL Series can analyze and detect what sound levels are dangerous to the human ear. The SoundPro® SE/DL Series is the latest and most advanced technology available to reliably perform advanced noise analyses. Don’t waste another minute! Learn how you can protect against noise-induced hearing loss with the SoundPro® SE/DL Series from Quest Technologies. Visit www.Quest-Technologies.com . Press Release Do you evaluate a supplier for noise dosimeter and sound level meter calibration services by price? Do you evaluate a supplier based on “NIST traceablility”? If you answered yes to either one of these questions, you may not be receiving services any more comprehensive than the calibration check you perform yourself. There are many important factors to consider when choosing a calibration service supplier. These important factors can be obtained in a Special Report from Quest Technologies entitled, “ALL CALIBRATIONS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL: Exploring The Value of Accredited Calibration Laboratories”, available to you at no cost.
