According to Bosch Rexroth, the acquisition provides the company the ability to supply complete motion control solutions for the semiconductor and medical manufacturing markets, two industries that are typically served by companies offering only individual components.
“We’ve acquired what we need to aggressively address the semiconductor and medical markets,” says Wolfgang Dangel, president and chief executive officer for Bosch Rexroth in North America. “We’ve already established ourselves in these segments an excellent supplier of linear motion and pneumatic systems. This acquisition gives us another strong product line in the electric drives and controls group, and allows us to offer drive and control expertise across all technologies.”
