Acquisition of the motion control solutions provider will strengthen Danaher Motion’s multi-axis system solution offering.

DANAHER MOTION HAS acquired G&L Motion Control, Inc. (GLMC), a provider of motion-centric machine control solutions from ThyssenKrupp Düsseldorf, Germany. The transaction is limited to the G&L Motion Control business located in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. Furthermore, this transaction does not include any G&L machine tool company.
