Schulte continued: "Danaher Motion and Neff have product offerings and capabilities that are highly complementary.
Combining Danaher Motion's existing motion control technologies and proven capabilities in applying the Danaher Business System with Neff's technological position in linear products will assure customers the most cost effective, highest quality, and shortest lead time linear solutions available today".
The acquisition of Neff continues a long-standing relationship between the companies.
Neff has used Danaher Motion's Kollmorgen brand servomotors and drives for many years, alongside its own linear products, providing complete motion systems to customers.
This will now enable Neff's customers to benefit from the much greater range of products from Danaher Motion.
