The engineering firm with around 15 employees will continue as a member of the Schmersal Group under its previous name. Founder Friedhelm Nowak will also remain with the company as Managing Director.
"The acquisition of omnicon engineering GmbH is part of our expansion strategy and we expect to achieve greater market penetration for the services of our tec.nicum division," explains Philip Schmersal, Managing Partner of K. A. Schmersal Holding. "Omnicon is an outstanding service provider that offers the complete portfolio of safety services - from risk assessment and technical documentation to hazard assessments and training. We can now offer our customers in south-western Germany in particular greater proximity and therefore shorter distances and even faster response times."
Tec.nicum was founded on January 1, 2016 as a service division of the group of companies and has been recording double to triple-digit growth rates every year since then. tec.nicum consists of a global network of certified functional safety engineers who provide manufacturer-independent advice to machine manufacturers and operators on all aspects of machine and occupational safety. In addition, the tec.nicum experts plan and implement complex safety solutions in close cooperation with the client.
