Automated Industrial Robotics Inc. Acquires Sewtec Automation
Automated Industrial Robotics Inc. announced the acquisition of Sewtec Automation, a leading industrial automation company based in the United Kingdom. The transaction expands AIR’s geographic footprint, strengthens its engineering capabilities and further positions the Company to capitalize on the increasing global demand for manufacturing automation solutions across a diversified customer base. The transaction was funded primarily by an additional investment from an Ares Management Private Equity fund.
Sewtec joins Totally Automated Systems and Modular Automation as a foundational asset of the AIR portfolio.
