Bucher Acquisition Strengthens Production at Jetter

 

Jetter will take over the complete supply chain process of Lenze Mobile Drives within the next two to three years. The automation specialist is reacting to the increasing production capacity utilization by adjusting the capacities at its existing headquarters in Ludwigsburg. The new building in Marbach am Neckar, which is currently in the planning stage, is designed for future growth and the increased production requirements can be taken into account here from the outset. The transfer of production brings another advantage for Jetter: Bucher Hydraulics is ready to purchase the new products. "Being part of our parent company Bucher Industries, we benefit greatly from the acquisition of Bucher Hydraulics - our sister company and good customer", explains Christian Benz, CEO of Jetter AG.

 

Relying on Competence

Lenze Mobile Drives develops and produces power electronics for mobile applications and offers a great deal of experience in the field of electromobility. The product portfolio includes inverters and converters for electrical power take-offs which are currently used in particular in commercial vehicles and mobile machinery. "We also have years of experience in the production of components for mobile applications, especially in the high-voltage sector," explains Benz. In addition, Jetter is considered a specialist for mobile automation: Control and drive technology from the Ludwigsburg-based company is the standard in many municipal vehicles and agricultural implements. "This means that the production of Lenze Mobile Drives will be in good hands with us in the future," says Benz.

 

Geared to Electrification Trend

With the acquisition of Lenze Mobile Drives, Bucher Industries is responding more strongly to the trend towards electrification and is positioning itself in the rapidly growing market for electrohydraulic solutions. Bucher Hydraulics and Jetter will develop and produce these innovative solutions in the future. Bucher Hydraulics, the leading international manufacturer of state-of-the-art customer- and application-specific hydraulic solutions, will thus become a one-stop supplier of hydraulic and electric as well as new intelligent electrohydraulic products and system solutions. The transaction of the division will be completed after its successful separation from the Lenze Group.
