Alliance Machine Systems International will acquire Systec Corporation and Automatan. Alliance is a manufacturer of automated paperboard packaging equipment for the production of corrugated boxes and part of Barry-Wehmiller.
“Alliance Machine Systems International is thrilled to acquire both Systec Corporation and Automatan, LLC, marking a significant milestone in our journey,” said Marius Batrin, Alliance president. “After years of successful collaboration, Alliance, Systec and Automatan have decided to become part of the same business structure.”
Systec, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, has been creating conveying equipment since 1992. Automatan, located in Plover, Wisconsin, has been producing laminators and labelers since 1976. Both are established manufacturers of conveying and material handling products in the corrugated and solid board industries.
The entire Systec and Automatan team will remain in place, with additional global engineering, sales and customer care support from Alliance Machine Systems.
“This strategic alignment will empower us to deliver even greater value to our customers,” said Christopher Nigon, Systec and Automatan CEO. “By combining our innovative solutions with the resources and expertise of Alliance Machine Systems International, we will be able to accelerate our growth, improve our services and expand our reach. We are delighted that Alliance appreciates the value of our organizations, and we are confident and excited that our combined expertise will have a positive impact on our continued growth and success. We believe that this alignment is an excellent extension of long-term business strategy, and we are thrilled to have a partner that shares our principles and respects the culture that has driven our success.”
