Liège-based EVS acquires US firm Telemetrics, strengthening its presence in broadcast robotics and expanding production options in America.
EVS, the Liège video technology company, has acquired New Jersey-based Telemetrics, a specialist in robotic systems for moving cameras in news studios. The €11.7 million deal ($12.7 million) includes an upfront $6.5 million payment and an additional $6.2 million if 2025 results meet expectations.
Telemetrics, which generated $12 million in revenue and $1.3 million in operating profit last year, will allow EVS to broaden its product range beyond sports replays into entertainment and news. CEO Serge Van Herck said robotic camera systems are “a natural extension of our studio solutions.”
The acquisition also gives EVS the option to manufacture in the US, mitigating the impact of American import tariffs. EVS still produces servers in Liège but is considering shifting part of the assembly to the US.
The deal follows earlier acquisitions in Portugal and Flanders. It comes as EVS reported weaker first-half 2025 results: revenue fell 6% to €91.8 million, with operating profit down nearly 10% to €14.8 million. CFO Veerle De Wit attributed the dip to delayed deliveries after supply chain adjustments to tariffs, calling the decline “a temporary slowdown.”
Despite the weaker half-year, EVS maintains its full-year guidance of €195–210 million in revenue and €35–43 million in operating profit. Telemetrics is expected to add $2.5–3 million in revenue in Q4.
EVS will also provide broadcast technology for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy and the FIFA World Cup in North America.
