“The Tecno Center acquisition enables us to deliver new, complementary technologies to our customers, support many new applications and provide a higher level of integrated systems expertise,” said Rick Wood, Rollon Corp’s managing director. “In particular, some of the more complex motion systems produced by Techno Center will enable us to deliver high-performance solutions in the domestic appliance, automotive and machine tool sectors.”
