Micromech acquires Unimatic's motors business

Unimatic Engineers has sold its motors, drives and linear division for an undisclosed sum to Micromech.

Unimatic Engineers has sold its motors, drives and linear division for an undisclosed sum to Micromech of Braintree so that it can concentrate on its core activities of rapid prototyping and CNC machining.

Micromech is a leading UK supplier of controls, servo/stepping motors and drives as well as associated motion products.

The addition of this business will give customers even greater support as well as access to a wider range of products and services.

Established over 25 years ago, Micromech has a wealth of experience in electromechanical products and can specify from single components right through to complex multi-axis systems.

If required systems can be designed, built and commissioned to customers' specifications, coupled with service and technical backup recognised throughout industry as first class.

The considerable overlap of products and expertise between Micromech and Unimatic's sold division means customers can expect a seamless transition of business.

Furthermore two of Unimatic's key end highly experienced salesmen, Terry Gibbins and Jim McPhail, will be joining Micromech.

Unimatic is reported to be delighted that Micromech is the purchaser of its Automation Division, as Micromech has had many years of experience in this area, and will therefore be able to continue to provide Unimatic's customers with the same high level of support and expertise, as well as ensuring product and technological continuity.
