Relevant Solutions Announces Acquisition of Conrad Kacsik Instrument Systems

Strategic acquisition continues vertical integration of thermal-process engineering, testing, and calibration services across North America.

HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Relevant Solutions, LLC (Relevant), a national provider of industrial equipment, engineering, and technical services, announced today that it has acquired Conrad Kacsik Instrument Systems, based in Solon, Ohio. The transaction closed on September 4, 2026.

The acquisition represents Relevant Solutions' second add-on since partnering with Fusion Capital Partners in 2025, following the acquisition of Automation Werx earlier this year, and reflecting Relevant's growing acquisition momentum. The addition of Conrad Kacsik strengthens Relevant's Combustion Solutions offering by adding specialized thermal processing control system engineering, testing, and calibration capabilities. It also significantly expands Relevant's instrumentation calibration and metrology capabilities, complementing the specialized services provided by J&W Instruments and Loy Instrument.

Founded in 1977, Conrad Kacsik has decades of experience supporting customers in demanding, highly regulated industries — including aerospace and defense, automotive, medical, and forging — where thermal-processing accuracy and standards such as AMS2750, Nadcap, CQI-9, and CFR-21 are mission-critical. The company operates an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration laboratory (through A2LA), providing traceable calibration and documentation for the most demanding quality and compliance requirements.

"The addition of Conrad Kacsik further strengthens Relevant's ability to support customers across the full lifecycle of their thermal processing and combustion systems," said John Carte, CEO of Relevant Solutions. "Their engineering, testing, calibration, and compliance expertise is highly complementary to the capabilities we have built across Relevant, particularly within our Combustion Solutions pillar. This combination allows us to bring together even more of the specialized expertise our customers need to improve performance, reliability, and compliance."

By bringing these complementary capabilities together, Relevant can provide customers operating in highly regulated and technically demanding environments with broader access to controls, combustion, instrumentation, thermal processing, testing, and calibration expertise.

"Joining Relevant Solutions provides Conrad Kacsik with the resources and scale to continue serving our customers while expanding what we can offer them," said Chris Miller, CEO of Conrad Kacsik Instrument Systems. "Our team has built strong relationships with customers by providing specialized technical expertise and responsive service. We are excited about the opportunity to build on that foundation as part of Relevant."

To support continuity for customers, employees, and partners, Chris Miller will remain with Conrad Kacsik, working closely with the Relevant team through the integration and expansion. Conrad Kacsik's team will join the Relevant "Family of Companies", ensuring continuity of the service and technical expertise its customers rely on, while gaining access to broader resources and solution offerings.

With the addition of Conrad Kacsik, Relevant Solutions continues to expand its technical capabilities and strengthen its position as a solutions-focused industrial partner. By combining engineering, automation, combustion, thermal processing, instrumentation, calibration, and technical field services, Relevant is expanding its ability to help North American customers address complex operational challenges while improving safety, reliability, efficiency, and compliance.
