"We are very pleased to have Beha joining Fluke because of its excellent reputation with electricians", noted Jim Lico, President of Fluke.
"This combination will allow us to bring more value to our European customers".
Fluke intends to make Beha and its German facility the centre of its European electrical business.

Fluke will continue to manufacture and sell Beha branded products through Beha's established agents and distributors.
"Selling a company you founded is never an easy decision", said Christian Beha, "but I want to see Beha continue to grow and the resources available with Fluke will make that possible.
I feel very good about this decision".
