Sumitomo Drive Technologies EMEIA continues to expand its leadership team: Eric Goos has been appointed to the board and will serve as managing director of Cyclo Drive Germany GmbH.
Larger wire diameters, greater performance, higher efficiency: How can rebar processing machines be adapted to changing market requirements using new drive technology and an open automation architecture? A user report.

Standard solutions quickly reach their limits under extreme conditions. Together, Ultra Motion and Faulhaber develop custom-designed actuators for deep-sea, space, and other demanding applications that place the highest demands on reliability and performance.

Global investment firm Carlyle has signed an agreement to sell Flender, a provider of mechanical drive technology, to Triton Fund 6, advised by Triton. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Anyone talking about German industry at the moment is often talking about uncertainty: a weak economy, high costs, global upheavals. A different story is being told in Nuremberg.

Around six months before the start of the trade fair, more than 900 companies have registered for SPS 2026 in Nuremberg. The trade fair focuses on industrial AI, cyber security and digital transformation.
Electromobility and the supplier industry
Bosch receives a major order from Mercedes-Benz to supply electric motors for new electric drives until the 2030s. The supplier is thus further expanding its position in the growth market of electromobility.

Why the future of robotics depends not only on software, but also on high-precision stator and rotor laminations inside the motor.

B&R, the Machine Automation Division of ABB, will be presenting new solutions for machine and plant engineering at the all about automation trade fair in Wels. The focus will be on drive technology and industrial image processing.
