Dorner Holding Company (Hartland, WI), the parent company of Dorner Mfg. Corp. (Hartland, WI), an industry leader in the design, application, manufacturing and integration of precision industrial conveyor systems, announced their acquisition of Sautem (Jalisco, Mexico), a leading designer and supplier of process automation equipment in Mexico.
This acquisition is the latest step in Dorner’s international expansion: In the past two years they have acquired Geppert-Band, a German-based manufacturer of belt and modular belt conveyors, FlexMove, a Malaysia-based manufacturer of flexible chain conveyors, and opened an office in Ontario, Canada. This addition better positions them to continue growing their presence in Mexico and Latin America.
“We continue to see new opportunities in these regions. This addition of a company with more than 15 years of experience in process automation will allow us to better support this growing market,” said Terry Schadeberg, the president and chief executive officer of Dorner Mfg. “On behalf of everyone in our company, I’d like to welcome their employees to our family.”
