For 46 years, Kinemetrics has been creating products for monitoring earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and nuclear proliferation while helping society to understand these events on a global, regional and local scale. In addition the company has been creating products for monitoring civil structures, bridges, dams, and nuclear power plants as this monitoring provides important information about the structures' responses to natural or man-induced seismicity. Kinemetrics has been a leader in the earthquake instrumentation business for over forty years, creating innovative products and solutions for seismic arrays and networks, for monitoring bridges, dams, structures, as well as systems for the nuclear power industry. With a reputation for high-quality products and superior reliability, Kinemetrics pays close attention to customer service and satisfaction.
Since ownership of Kinemetrics was transferred to Oyo Corporation of Japan in 1991, Kinemetrics has developed into the undisputed world leader for cutting-edge seismic instrumentation. With the 1999 acquisition of Quanterra Inc. of Harvard, Massachusetts, and the recent acquisition of Metrozet, LLC of Torrance, California, the company continues with its strategic plan of creating a new generation of very broadband seismic instrumentation and network solutions. Through cooperative efforts with each other and with other strategic partnerships, Kinemetrics successfully designed, delivered, installed and maintained national seismic networks and observatories in such diverse areas as the Middle East, South America and Asia.
