Yaskawa takes over Factory Automation from ZF
Yaskawa Europe is taking over the Factory Automation business unit of ZF Italia in Assago (Milan). The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
ZF Italia, the Italian subsidiary of the international ZF Friedrichshafen, and Yaskawa Europe have been linked by a strategic partnership in the distribution of components for automation technology in Italy for 25 years. With the acquisition now completed, Yaskawa intends to strengthen its presence in the Italian market, the second largest in Europe.
"By merging the Drives, Controls and Robotics product lines, we can better realize the potential of our overall industrial automation portfolio and provide better support to Italian customers," said Norbert Gauss, President of Yaskawa's Drives Motion Controls Division. "We are very pleased that continuity will be maintained and that the successful partnership of a quarter of a century with the same experienced team can only be continued in the future under a new ownership structure," says Marco Civinini, Business Unit Manager Drives Motion Controls Division and, together with Andrea Marchese, now head of the almost 20-strong team at Yaskawa.
In addition to the Drives, Motion and Controls Division, Yaskawa has been represented in the Robotics Division for many years with its own national subsidiary. Four locations in the metropolitan areas of Turin, Milan, Modena and Brescia are now available for the products and system solutions of the Drives, Motion and Controls Division (DMC) and the Robotics Division (RD). Operations will commence on March 1, 2019. as
