Jewell Instruments, LLC (Manchester, NH) is pleased to announce that is has acquired the product lines formerly supplied by Applied Geomechanics (San Francisco, CA), a division of Carbo Ceramics. Relocation to the Jewell facility will occur in December and Jewell is expected to begin production in early January 2013.

The Applied Geomechanics (AGI) products are tilt meters and clinometers and include full signal conditioning electronics and are used in a variety of applications in buildings, tunnels, dams, slopes, embankments, volcanoes, landslides, mines and construction projects around the world.
