Wittmann Group buying Battenfeld

The Wittmann Group, the Austrian-based supplier of robots and auxiliary systems, is buying insolvent Battenfeld Kunststoffmaschinen GmbH (Kottingbrunn, Austria). They are thus creating the world’s first fully integrated supplier of injection molding machinery, from the dryer and loading system through to the takeoff system at the end of the production cycle.
In a joint statement, the company owners Dr.Werner Wittmann and Georg Tinschert said, “The integration of both companies leads to significant advantages for our customers and we are sure to enlarge our worldwide market position in progress.”
The consent of the board of Battenfeld’s creditors is needed, and the deal is subject to an inspection in accordance with Austrian anti-trust laws.
