ESI and Beijing Yanyu Water sign water monitoring sensors distribution agreement in China

Canada-based water monitoring environmental sensors manufacturer ESI Environmental Sensors has signed a distribution agreement with Beijing Yanyu Water Technology Company (BJYY), a subsidiary of Tri-Tech.

As per the distribution agreement, BJYY will have exclusive rights to distribute ESI’s GroPoint Lite Profiling Probe water sensing technology in China.

The companies have initially tested the suitability of ESI’s sensing technology in the Chinese market prior to finally signing the distribution agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, a minimum purchase of the sensors is essential to allow a steady and reliable production and sales volumes growth over an initial minimum period of three years.

The companies will continue to develop and grow their partnership by expanding the product range and market reach throughout the deal period.

ESI chairman and Avis Financial executive director and COO Stephan Radermacher said that the agreement will help the company provide high volumes of its products to important markets through supply partnerships.

"We will continue along these lines and grow ESI into truly global product presence, in this application area and beyond," Radermacher added.

ESI has earlier developed a customised version of its time domain transmissiometry (TDT) soil moisture sensors to suit the physical measurement parameters specified by Chinese government ministries.

TDT sensors were tested by BJYY and Chinese government ministry scientists, while ESI assisted in the testing process.

After performing various tests, BJYY/Tri-tech, selected ESI’s GroPoint Lite Profiling Probe to distribute in the Chinese market.

Beijing Yanyu Water-Tech Company CEO Hongzhi Ma said: "Introducing new and high-tech products into the Chinese hydrological industry is one of Yanyu’s development directions."
