Copeland set to acquire monitoring company Dickson
29th July 2026
USA: Copeland has announced its entry into exclusive negotiations to purchase Dickson, a test and measurement compliance company based in Addison, Illinois, that develops environmental monitoring systems.
Currently owned by May River Capital, Dickson was founded in 1923 and provides cloud-native software solutions for regulated life sciences and healthcare applications.
In 2019, Dickson acquired Oceasoft, a European provider of environmental monitoring systems.
Copeland says that the proposed acquisition will enable it to build on its existing stationary and in-transit monitoring capabilities to deliver an end-to-end solution that helps healthcare, pharmaceutical and life sciences customers safeguard product integrity, maintain compliance and reduce operational risk.
“Dickson will expand our capabilities and strengthen our ability to serve customers across every stage of the healthcare and life sciences cold chain, from pharmaceutical manufacturing through distribution and patient care,” said Copeland CEO Ross B Shuster.
