Relevant Industrial acquires Loy Instrument
Houston-based Relevant Industrial LLC, a provider of industrial equipment and engineered solutions, announced the acquisition of Loy Instrument Inc., a process control and combustion solutions company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Relevant stated the acquisition marks a significant milestone, strengthening its position as an industry leader with best-in-class expertise in combustion, process control, and automation.
Loy Instrument brings over 80 years of industry-leading knowledge and a reputation for delivering advanced solutions across diverse industrial applications. Relevant said with the company's team of more than 900 years of combined experience, Loy's engineering excellence and customer-centric approach make it a natural fit for Relevant Industrial.
Relevant expects the partnership to enhance its ability to deliver innovative solutions to clients in key industries such as refining, petrochemical, aerospace, metals, pharmaceutical, food processing, manufacturing, and power generation.
"The addition of Loy Instrument's expertise strengthens our ability to tackle complex challenges in combustion and process control, providing even greater value to our customers," said John Carte, CEO of Relevant Industrial. "We're excited to welcome this exceptional team into the Relevant family and look forward to driving innovation together."
This strategic expands Relevant's geographic footprint into Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan, bringing support and specialized expertise to more customers. Relevant says Loy's commitment to safety, quality, and technical excellence aligns perfectly with Relevant's mission to deliver reliable, high-value solutions tailored to every client's needs.
"Joining Relevant Industrial is an exciting step for Loy Instrument, our employees, and our customers," said Ken Bradway, President of Loy Instrument, Inc. "Together, we'll leverage our combined expertise and resources to expand our capabilities and continue delivering exceptional solutions to the industries we serve."
Alongside the acquisition of Loy Instrument, Relevant Industrial also welcomed Krom Americas to its network, further enhancing the company's capabilities in process control and industrial services. Krom Americas, established in 2020, addresses the demand for localized inventory and faster delivery of Kromschröder products across the U.S. and Canada. By stocking inventory in Indianapolis — known as the "Crossroads of America" — Krom Americas ensures customers benefit from shorter lead times and superior service.
