Leadec strengthens its modern maintenance expertise
Stuttgart (Germany), 6 May 2020 – Leadec, a Triton Funds IV portfolio company and one of the leading providers of technical services for the automotive and manufacturing industries, is further expanding its portfolio. From June 1, 2020, IVG Göhringer, specializing in instrumentation technology, will belong to the group. With this acquisition, the industrial service provider deepens its technical expertise in predictive maintenance for the factory of the future.
IVG Göhringer, headquartered in Holzgerlingen, has been the contact and problem solver for everything to do with fieldbus systems since 1997. The company adds professional services such as inspections, on-site acceptance measurements and maintenance staff trainings to Leadec’s range of services and it sells high-quality measuring instruments for troubleshooting in production plants.
“IVG Göhringer combines the sale of hardware with in-depth expert knowledge about industrial networks and fieldbus systems. Both are very valuable for advancing our predictive maintenance services,” says Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of Leadec, about the acquisition.
The industrial service provider already relies on intelligent preventive maintenance solutions, for example state-of-the-art sensor and analysis systems including data processing. This results in high plant availability, lower maintenance costs and a particularly low failure risk.
