圣路易斯4月5日消息——信號(hào)傳輸解決方案的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者百通（Belden）公司已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了最后的協(xié)議階段，收購隆堡（Lumberg）自動(dòng)化部件公司的資產(chǎn)和相關(guān)實(shí)體，收購的現(xiàn)金價(jià)格沒有透露。隆堡是工廠自動(dòng)化機(jī)械工業(yè)連接產(chǎn)品的領(lǐng)先供應(yīng)商，2006年的營收大約為7千5百萬美元。隆堡公司的產(chǎn)品范圍包括工業(yè)連接器、高性能端子以及現(xiàn)場(chǎng)總線通信部件。

"Lumberg Automation has built an extremely strong brand over its 70-year history and has established itself as an innovator in industrial connectivity for factory automation," said John Stroup, President and Chief Executive Officer of Belden. "They have a strong market position with leading German equipment OEMs and provide both standard and customized solutions to meet the connectivity requirements of a wide range of industrial customers. We believe the addition of Lumberg Automation will complement the industrial connectivity portfolio of the recently acquired Hirschmann Automation and Control and reinforce Belden's leadership in the industrial market. With Belden's expanding global reach and this strong portfolio, we expect to accelerate our revenue growth in the industrial market."
