Numalliance has purchased EMS
(Electro Mécanique Saverne).
EMS specialises in the design and
production of machines for chipless
end-forming and rotary and blade cutting
machines for tubes.
With this new acquisition Numalliance
extends its offering in tube processing
for various industries. The solutions
offered by the company are used for
automotive (seating frames, exhaust),
point of purchase (supermarket carts,
display shelves), furniture, agriculture
applications and more.
Numalliance was formed by a merger of
three companies: Mascoft, Latour and
Satime, of which the oldest boasts over
140 years of experience. The strength of
the company mainly lies in its expertise
in mechatronic: the hybridisation of
mechanics and the in-house development
of its user-friendly software, which
enabled it to develop internationally
recognised CNC machines.
In October 2013, Numalliance successfully
integrated Silfax, an expert for tube
bending with a strong foothold in the
aeronautics industry.
Established in 1949 near Strasbourg,
France, EMS will benefit from the support
of Numalliance’s subsidiaries based in
China, Germany, India, Mexico, USA and
more recently Slovakia, and also by its
international network of sales agents
and sales engineers. With a global direct
workforce of 225 and sales in excess of
€45m, the company generates more than
92 per cent of its sales outside of France
and 50 per cent outside Europe.
“With this acquisition, we keep extending
our competences to offer our customers
a global and fully integrated answer to
their needs with complementary and
compatible products,” said Joël Etienne,
chief executive.
“The addition of EMS perfectly fits our
company’s dynamic motion and constant
evolution. We set our business internal
and external growth target high for the
year to come,” he added.
