Rainwise® is now part of KestrelMet®
Monica Devlin Comments
Rainwise® weather monitoring systems are now part of the KestrelMet® line of rugged weather stations. Uniting Rainwise under the KestrelMet brand introduces tremendous opportunity for expanding the offerings of high-quality, professional-grade weather monitoring equipment, customized solutions, and connectivity capabilities.
In 2020, Rainwise became part of the Nielsen-Kellerman® (NK) family of weather brands joining Kestrel® Instruments and Ambient® Weather. NK is a market leader in manufacturing tools for environmental monitoring across a wide range of professions. NK's acquisition of RainWise confirms its commitment to becoming a full-range provider of weather instrumentation.
"Kestrel and RainWise have parallel histories in innovation in weather measurement and commitment to accuracy, reliability, and US manufacturing. We greatly admire their reputation for building quality products that perform for years and years in the field. Putting our companies together made perfect sense."
Alix James, Nielsen-Kellerman's CEO.
The strategic combination of the capabilities of Nielsen-Kellerman and RainWise expands NK's ability to deliver accurate weather measurements and weather monitoring solutions to customers wherever and whenever desired – in remote locations, the factory, or the field.
