Eindhoven, July 31, 2025 – Itility Group, a leading software and data solution provider in Manufacturing, Health, Energy, and AgriTech, is delighted to announce the acquisition of a majority stake in Sensar, a pioneering Dutch Earth Observation company using radar signals. On July 30, Itility Group completed the acquisition, marking a significant milestone for both companies in the field of software, data solutions and earth observation.
Sensar, located in Rijswijk, uses satellite-based InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar). These radar signals are used to measure tiny movements of the Earth’s surface, such as sinking ground, shifting infrastructure, or slow landslides. Sensar processes and visualizes that data so cities, engineers, or infrastructure owners can spot early signs of structural or ground problems; often before they are visible to the eye.
Sensar will join the Itility Group as part of the Earth Observation Hub - consisting of eLEAF, NEO and 52impact. Through this, Sensar will be able to accelerate faster to anticipate the rapidly growing demand of the industry for detection of millimeter-scale movements. The shared knowledge of earth observation techniques will speed up detecting subtle environmental changes to manage infrastructure even more proactively and effectively.
Supported by the Itility Group, Sensar can further scale its services and deploy this across the globe to support infrastructure owners, local governments, water authorities, and housing companies.
Arjan Tabak, Managing Director Sensar: “At Sensar, our mission is to turn satellite data into meaningful insights that support a more sustainable and resilient planet. That’s why I’m thrilled to see our team of geo-specialists teaming up with the Earth Observation Hub experts. Looking forward to joining forces with this team of truly hands-on specialists, to expand the impact of earth observation and empower smarter decision-making on the ground.”
Peter Schepers, CEO Itility Group: “We’re excited to work side by side with Sensar in the fascinating field of earth observation and satellite-based ground monitoring.”
Reinier Oost, Director of Technology Sensar: “We’re seeing radar technology applications entering a steep growth curve. To take the next step, we were looking for a partner who could accelerate that growth from multiple angles - without compromising our unique identity as a specialist in this field. This partnership allows us to scale further and unlock new opportunities. A true case of 1 + 1 = 3.”
