Datalogic S.p.A., a company which offers solutions for a comprehensive range of applications in the manufacturing, transportation & logistics and retail industries, announced that it has entered into an agreement with certain subsidiaries of Danaher Corporation to acquire Accu-Sort Systems Inc., a leading supplier of Automatic Identification (Auto-ID) products in the United States.
Mauro Sacchetto, CEO of Datalogic, stated: "This transaction doubles Datalogic Group's presence in the Industrial Automation industry by positioning it in the high-end segment and by broadening the company's competitive position in a highly fragmented market with great growth potential. Accu-Sort is complementary to the existing business of Datalogic and is a leading supplier with a widely recognized brand and long-term relationships with preeminent customers. Accu-Sort is financially sound, with an EBITDA margin that exceeds 19%, and highly focused on researching solutions and developing additional value for its customers. This acquisition, which perfectly fits our corporate strategy, complements and confirms Datalogic's solid foundations and strong growth potential despite a very challenging economic environment."
