Atlanta-based East West Manufacturing has acquired Scanalytics, an innovator in smart flooring and building intelligence.

Following the transaction, Wisconsin-based Scanalytics will retain its brand and operate as a product division of East West.

The acquisition reinforces East West’s vertically integrated capabilities while expanding its product portfolio and addressable end markets across smart buildings, energy management and connected infrastructure. By combining East West’s global design, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution expertise with Scanalytics’ proprietary hardware and software, the company hopes to deliver smart flooring at scale across professional and consumer markets.

Scanalytics has developed a suite of connected hardware and software that enables building owners and operators to capture actionable, real-time insights into space use, occupancy and movement. These insights help organisations optimise building-system automation, improve energy efficiency and enhance occupant safety across a wide range of environments.

As part of East West, Scanalytics should benefit from the company’s end-to-end capabilities spanning product design and industrialisation, global sourcing, high-quality manufacturing, and regional distribution. This integrated approach supports scalable commercialisation while maintaining a sustainable and resilient supply chain.

“Scanalytics represents a natural extension of East West’s mission to help innovative technology companies successfully bring connected products to market,” said Robert Cross, vice president of East West (www.ewmfg.com). “Their smart flooring technology solves real-world challenges in building automation and energy management, and our vertically integrated manufacturing and distribution platform allows us to scale these efficiently and responsibly. We are excited to welcome the Scanalytics team to East West.”

Joe Scanlin, CEO of Scanalytics (www.scanalyticsinc.com), added: “Scanalytics was founded on a straightforward belief that giving buildings a brain-like ability to perceive and learn from real activity could unlock a step-change in efficiency, safety and experience. The bigger implication is that this measurement layer makes buildings legible to software, and becomes training and inference fuel for the next category of AI grounded in the physical world. With East West’s ability to scale manufacturing globally, we can reach more commercial and residential buildings faster, delivering measurable energy savings, safer operations and healthier occupant experiences.”

The acquisition underscores East West’s continued investment in connected devices, IoT and innovative infrastructure, reinforcing its position as a proactive, partner for organisations seeking to commercialise complex hardware products at scale.
