WENZEL Acquires Steintek GmbH

The acquisition of German Steintek GmbH by the WENZEL Group GmbH & Co. KG, Wiesthal (Germany), that was already announced at Control exhibi-tion (Stuttgart) in May, has now been successfully concluded. The contracts for the 100 % acquisition of Steintek were signed on the 31th of July in Wiest-hal. Steintek will operate as an independent company inside WENZEL Group under the new name WENZEL ScanTec GmbH.

The taken over Steintek GmbH is one of the technology leaders for high speed measuring- and digitizing-systems. The technology is based on a white light distance sensor technology that is adapted for all types of surfaces and customized for the application areas in production. The systems detect and analyze even low-est defects and assure a fast feedback with fully customisable reports. The sys-tems are mainly applied in measuring of complex parts e.g. turbine blades, blisk and implellers.

By the integration into WENZEL Group, Steintek GmbH is able to use the available capacity for development and the global distribution network of the WENZEL Group. Klaus Mühlberger, Managing Director of ScanTec GmbH, will continue in his position, commenting Mr Mühlberger said "we now have the oppor-tunity to attain above average growth with our unique technology." There are no changes for existing customers. All known contacts will remain in their current posi-tions.
