The acquisition is expected to strengthen its market position and product portfolio. It is looking to expand its footprint in Germany.
Germany-based Ahlbrandt is known for spray coating and hot air drying products and innovation in surface finishing. Ahlbrandt’s expertise in developing and producing top-quality equipment and systems is a complement to Baldwin’s broad product portfolio. The partnership presents an opportunity for Ahlbrandt team to expand its business to new geographical markets and customers. The acquisition is expected to have a positive influence on Ahlbrandt’s new Serviceplus growth strategy.
The move will strengthen Baldwin’s ability to provide value to its customers through broader technology and service offerings. The investment underscores Baldwin’s commitment to a strategy that blends organic and acquisition growth to enhance its global footprint and the technology it can deliver to customers.
Ahlbrandt is Baldwin’s third acquisition since it joined the BW Forsyth Partners’ family of companies in 2012. In 2014, Baldwin acquired Web Printing Controls; in January of 2017, Air Motion Systems. Baldwin’s continued focus on strategic acquisitions has positioned the company for even greater success and created enormous opportunity for the company’s team members around the world.
