As part of a strategic investment in the European industrial market, ABAC, the world's largest manufacturer of compressed air systems, has acquired ALUP Kompressoren GmbH.
Joerg Ciper, marketing director Electromechanical Components, explained: "Industrial automation has seen an annual growth in the two-digit percentage range.
With Souriau we have a strong partner to be able to penetrate this market adequately." In France, Souriau had already convinced itself of Rutronik's technical competence and sales strength matched with profound market knowledge and local customer assistance.
For this reason, it was a logical conclusion for the Souriau management to build up the successful partnership on a European level.
On the French market, Rutronik plays a traditionally important role in the field of electromechanical components and was able to continuously increase sales in the last few years.
Apart from the semiconductors, electromechanics are a strong pillar in this sales region.
Since electromechanics has been expanded under Ciper, the company has been similarly successful on a pan-European level.
This year alone, new or expanded franchise agreements with Balkhausen, Delta Electronics and ITW Pancon, among others, as well as manufacturer awards have marked the success route in this product range.
