"This company has experienced exceptional growth over the past four years and has attracted blue chip North American energy customers," said Russell Pullan, Director of Nomura's New Energy & Clean Technology Ventures. "Our decision to lead this round of financing demonstrates our confidence in SpectraSensors' seasoned management team. There is a lot of excitement in the industry over the company's' recent launch of new products such as an innovative hydrogen sulphide analyzer and a unit to measure the energy content of gas. With its novel laser technology and real-time measurement, we believe they are well on their way to becoming an industry leader and the number one global supplier for gas-quality measurement."
