MARPOSS ACQUIRES CONTROL OF SANTEC AUTOMATION

 

SANtec was created in 1998 by Mr. Wolfgang Sawicki, through a management buy-out of an existing division of Sandvik Automation, already active since almost 20 years in the field of automating and monitoring the machining production process.

Existing SANtec personnel will be retained and the Company will operate as Division of ARTIS GmbH in the present location.

SANtec product range includes today innovative solutions such as:

• Fine Boring Systems automatically driven through in-line gauging, for transfer lines and machining centres
• Tool Monitoring Systems to detect tool wear, breakage and missing tool in the machining operations

In announcing the acquisition, Marposs President, Mr. Stefano Possati said: “SANtec products represent the perfect integration of  Marposs strategy to provide the right solutions to Machine Tool Makers and End Users for the optimisation of machining processes. After the acquisition of Artis GmbH, the worldwide leader in Tool and Machine Monitoring applications on cutting machine tools, this further investment confirm our commitment on this new and very promising sector for the Company growth. Artis GmbH was acquired at the end of 2008 and we are quite satisfied of their full integration in Marposs Worldwide Organisation. Artis has the perfect synergies to exploit through SANtec Products ”.
