ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Photonix® (NYSE MKT: API), announced that it has completed a three year (extendable) purchase agreement with a major process control customer. The agreement provides the customer with defined market exclusivity dependent on minimum volume targets.
Following on the heels of a multi-unit purchase, Advanced Photonix (API) has announced that it has finalized a multi-year purchase agreement. This agreement, covering a substantial number of units is worth over $1.25 M of industrial system sales, and could easily exceed that amount. The customer, who manufactures process control equipment, has been given exclusive rights to purchase API's T-Gauge® sensor within markets where they have a dominant presence.
Industrial manufacturing customers recognize the value of having a high quality measurement sensor that does not contain radioactive sources, or produce ionizing radiation. They also recognize the value of a terahertz sensor that can make multiple measurements simultaneously, while surviving in the harsh factory environment. The T-Gauge® terahertz sensor from API is the market choice due to its high-speed data acquisition, robust configuration and exceptionally high measurement precision. No other system in the world combines high-speed acquisition with the stability and high signal-to-noise of the T-Gauge® sensor.
"We are seeing market acceptance of our T-Gauge® product continue to accelerate. We expect that this purchase agreement will be in place for a number of years as we continue to produce compelling products of value for our customer's customer," said Richard Kurtz, CEO of API.
