As Danfoss Motion Controls, they will now offer the market a co-ordinated range of drives and geared motor units.
Malcolm Staff, Sales and Marketing Director of the new business, said "The integration of the Bauer geared motor business into Danfoss has a great deal of synergy.
Throughout Europe, 37% of geared motors are driven at variable speed.
Both Danfoss and Bauer have in the past enjoyed a superlative reputation for quality and this acquisition puts Danfoss Motion Controls in a strong position for the future, particularly in the rapidly growing field of integrated variable speed motors and geared motor units." In order to streamline manufacturing and improve customer service and value, a number of major changes have been made to Bauer's Esslingen and Munich geared motor manufacturing plants.
This has impacted on the processes carried out at their Winsford factory and some redundancies on the gearbox manufacturing side have resulted.
Improved customer service will come from focusing on the fast assembly and tailoring service from Winsford so that customer's requirements for special features can be met more swiftly.
Danfoss Motion Controls will now be located in the Winsford factory.
The holding company, Danfoss Limited, also recently vacated its Perivale HQ and has relocated the sales, service and accounts departments in purpose built premises in Denham, where Danfoss Motion Controls' southern sales office will also be located.
