The Digigram Group Acquires Acoustic Surveillance Company Wavely

The Digigram Group continues to expand its business from its origins as experts in digital audio toward noise analysis solutions and has now acquired Wavely, a Lille-based company that specializes in AI-enhanced acoustic surveillance solutions. This acquisition confirms the Group's build-up strategy focused on critical audio — all applications where sound, noise, and vibration carry high operational stakes. The amount of the transaction has not been disclosed.
 
Founded in 2017 by Nicolas Côté, Alexis Vlandas, and Marion Gautier as a spin-off of French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Wavely has built its acoustic surveillance expertise to develop solutions that combine audio signal processing and artificial intelligence. Designed to detect and localize anomalies, events, or faults in complex industrial environments, Wavely solutions support industrial maintenance and safety applications as well as acoustic surveillance operations for household names in France and abroad (TotalEnergies, EDF, GRdF, Air Liquide).
 
Effective immediately, the acquisition expands the Digigram Group’s headcount to nearly 80 employees worldwide with offices in France, the USA, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Wavely teams, brands, trademarks, and premises remain unchanged.
 
Joining forces with Wavely enables the Digigram Group to accelerate its development and provide additional innovative solutions to reinforce its critical audio strategy. From now on, Wavely teams will lean on a powerful platform for their logistics, manufacturing, marketing, and commercial operations in order to accelerate their development and market reach.

"Integrating the Digigram Group is a thrilling opportunity for Wavely, that not only confirms the relevance of our innovative AI-enhanced solutions but also boosts our market presence. Digigram's contribution is a valuable leverage to support both our technical and commercial developments. This operation also reflects a shared culture of engineering excellence and offers new growth opportunities for both teams," states Wavely’s co-founder, Nicolas Côté.
   The acquisition of Wavely by a larger group not only signs the success of the company's endeavors but also acknowledges the team's developments and collective efforts. "Joining the Digigram Group is a logical move that acknowledges several years of hard work to develop robust and innovative technologies. Becoming part of a renowned French industrial group is a collective reward for us all," declares Wavely co-founder, Alexis Vlandas.

"We are very excited to welcome Wavely to the Digigram Group. This acquisition marks a significant milestone in our strategic growth, strengthening our capabilities and expanding our reach with solutions that address the smart analysis of critical signals. Together, we will deliver even greater value to our customers, partners, and stakeholders," added Jérémie Weber, President of the Digigram Group.
 
Pursuing its strategy of growth, and further to the acquisitions of AuviTran (2023) and OROS (2024), the Digigram Group has consistently strengthened its position as a key player in every application where audio, acoustics, and vibration analysis are mission-critical. The company now offers hardware and software solutions serving broadcast and live markets to defense and sensitive industrial applications through its AuviTran, Digigram, Digigram Critical Audio, and OROS brands. Across 40 years, the Digigram group has enlarged its expertise and reach towards applications where audio and vibration are critical to the success of teams.
