Siemens
consolidates its position in process automation with the acquisition of
Controlotron
Controlotron and Siemens have signed an
agreement whereby Siemens is to acquire the business activities of
Controlotron, Hauppauge, New York, USA. Controlotron, a leading
manufacturer of ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeters, employs a staff of around
120 and has a global sales network that is to be integrated into the
Siemens organization. Take-over of the business activities is planned for
May 2006.
According to Anton S. Huber, A&D Vice President, flowmeters account
for around a quarter of today's requirement for process instrumentation:
"The acquisition of Controlotron's flowmeter activities continues the
consistent expansion of our process automation sector. Controlotron's
innovative, non-intrusive flow meters are an outstanding supplement to our
product portfolio in process instrumentation, consolidating our
competitive position and making us an even more attractive partner for our
customers".
The ultrasonic clamp-on devices from Controlotron calculate the flow of
liquids or gases extremely accurately without intervening in the pipeline.
Two sensors are clamped onto the outside of the pipe for this purpose. Key
applications include the oil and gas industry, the water/wastewater sector,
and energy and pipeline applications.
