Dublin, OH — FEBRUARY
28, 2017
—Indev Gauging Systems,
A North American leader in in-line process measurement and control solutions has
signed a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Automation and Control
Technology, Inc. (ACT), also an industry leader in similar applications. The combined
new company will offer the most advanced and cost effective in-line web based
measurement and control technologies currently available within the Coatings/Converting, Building Products, Metals,
Plastics and Non-Woven Industries today.
With
this move the current president of ACT, Charles Totel, will now lead the new
Indev-ACT Team as President while Bruce Johnson will become the Vice President
of Sales and Marketing. As briefed by Mr. Johnson: “With an acquisition such as
this a strong focus is required in the areas of our greatest strengths. Chuck’s
successful management track record, strong vision and un-parallel energy in
motivating people make him the perfect choice to advance us to the next level
as a company. I’m extremely honored to work with him while focusing my efforts
in leading the sales and marketing of the company as we move forward.”
Indev
has expanded from simple in-line measurement solutions into the more stringent
demands of Advanced Coatings, Paper, Metals, Films and Building Product industries
over the past 30 years. In the last 7 years Indev has added people in software
development, design, controls, sales and service. With the latest purchase of
ACT, Indev has substantially expanded their Engineering, Manufacturing and
Delivery capabilities even more.
According to Chuck Totel, the new President of Indev Gauging Systems,” Along
with the added investment in our people and processes, Indev is now positioned to continue to aggressively
increase our North American market share while still providing the most
technically advanced, cost effective and best supported web based measurement
systems in the industry. As part of the acquisition, Indev will be moving the
US corporate headquarters to Dublin, Ohio where an even larger temperature
controlled manufacturing facility and offices with over 20,000 square foot of
operating room allowing Indev-ACT to meet the increased demand for Systems and
Service by our customers.”
