Senstar Technologies Corporation Announces Closing of Blickfeld GmbH Acquisition
Ottawa, Ontario, February 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Senstar Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: SNT), a leading international provider of comprehensive
physical, video and access control security products and solutions, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Blickfeld GmbH (“Blickfeld”) following the receipt of regulatory approval and
satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Terms of the agreement were first announced on December 9, 2025. The acquisition was funded with €10.4 million in cash in addition to €1 million in performance-based earnouts. Blickfeld, a
preexisting partner of Senstar, is a top producer of 3D LiDAR sensors with integrated software for security, volume monitoring, industrial and traffic applications.
The acquisition strengthens Senstar’s position as a provider of fully integrated, multi-layered security offerings by adding Blickfeld’s high-precision 3D security LiDAR sensor range, a solution
competitively positioned in a segment of the market expected to grow by over 20%. With renewed cross-selling capabilities and complementary award-winning hardware and software solutions, Senstar is well-positioned to expand its addressable market
by broadening its solution offering to existing customers and reinforcing its ability to secure critical points within non-critcal infrastructure. Together, the companies will deliver enhanced detection accuracy that reduces false alarms and
improves situational awareness, while broadening application breadth to include new, high-growth volume and traffic-monitoring verticals.
Mr. Fabien Haubert, CEO of Senstar Technologies Corporation, stated, “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Mathias Müller and the Blickfeld team to Senstar. By combining Senstar’s proven perimeter
intrusion detection systems and intelligent video management software with Blickfeld’s advanced 3D LiDAR technology, we are in a unique position to deliver next-generation security solutions that address our customers’ most critical challenges.
Together, we plan to strengthen our product development, expand our global reach, and advance our roadmap in both critical infrastructure and new vertical markets such as traffic and volume monitoring, where customers increasingly demand
LiDAR-enabled situational awareness.”
In addition, this complimentary acquisition enables for richer collaboration towards the realization of synergies. Upon closing, Blickfeld will continue to operate autonomously while leveraging
Senstar’s support, with Blickfeld GmbH and its subsidiary, Blickfeld North America Inc., remaining Senstar subsidiaries under their current names.
The acquisition underscores Senstar’s commitment to strategic growth and technology leadership, with both companies reiterating their focus on leveraging synergies as a combined entity.
