ELECTRONICS & AUTOMATION

The field of automation covers all plants and components that function completely or partially without human intervention. At Aquin, this sector consists mainly of sensor technology, communication technology as well as control and measurement technology, as evidenced by impressive references and long-term cooperation with industry experts. In addition, the automation industry also includes machine vision technology and robotic components, such as positioners, drives and associated control software.

Selected Sub-sectors:
> E(D)MS
> Cables and Connectors
> Sensor & Measurement Technology
> Network and Telecommunication Technology
> Controls and Drives

Automation is key to digitalization and progressing towards Industry 4.0, which communicates data from manufacturing and production processes with integrated IT systems across the entire value chain. Megatrends, such as globalization, health awareness, environmental protection and an increasing level of prosperity can only be made possible through a higher level of automation in all aspects of our daily life. M&A activities play a central role for companies in the automation industry not only to protect competitive advantages, but also to help strengthen inorganic growth.

Applications of automation solutions can be found almost everywhere: from process plants to production lines, from ventilators and the monitoring of vital parameters to building control (smart home) and household appliances; from autopilots in cars, aircraft, ships and trains to safety equipment and maintenance monitoring.

Thanks to our network, partly due to the former activity of Dr. Jürgen Kuttruff as head of the RFID business at Infineon, as well as our contacts procured by our Senior Advisors, we have been able to implement a considerable number of projects for both medium-sized and large companies. As experts in the industry and regular partners in transactions, almost every door opens in the course of an active M&A process.
