The business employs around 300 people, and its main locations are in the USA, Germany, and Singapore.
The acquisition is in line with Valmet’s strategy and will further strengthen Valmet’s automation segment and process automation offering with process industry gas chromatograph and process analyzer systems offering. It also strengthens Valmet’s Automation Systems business footprint in North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. The acquired business is integrated into Valmet’s Automation Systems business line as a business unit called Analyzer Products and Integration.
“The acquisition was completed as planned and we are very happy to welcome the new colleagues as well as the former Siemens Process Gas Chromatography & Integration’s customers to Valmet.
