The Buhler Technology Group recently acquired the U.S.-based Draiswerke, Inc. The company generated sales of approximately $5 million last year and will be integrated in the Buhler grinding and dispersion business unit, which offers solutions for manufacturing electronic materials, printing inks and paints, fine chemicals, and products used in other industries. According to Buhler, the acquisition is a logical further development after Buhler’s acquisition of parts of Draiswerke Mannheim GmbH in 2003. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. This transaction enables Buhler to strengthen its position in the North American market in terms of both existing and prospective customers. Integration in the Buhler grinding and dispersion business unit is to be completed by the end of this year.
