IMA Schelling Expands Automation Capabilities with Acquisition of Carmet Automazioni and Blumenbecker Engineering
IMA Schelling has recently enhanced its automation expertise by acquiring two specialist companies, Carmet Automazioni and Blumenbecker Engineering System Technology. This strategic move allows IMA Schelling to present a more comprehensive array of automation, handling, and transport solutions to its clientele.
The addition of an Italian and a Polish company to the IMA Schelling Group marks a significant step in the company's mission to be the leading provider of automation solutions in the furniture industry.
Carmet Automazioni SRL, based in Treviso, Italy, boasts over five decades of experience in creating industrial automation and handling technologies. Their expertise, particularly in multi-blade saw cutting technology, is a valuable complement to IMA Schelling's product offerings. Continuing to operate under its well-known name and brand, Carmet Automazioni's team of 30 skilled professionals is now integrated into the IMA Schelling Group.
Blumenbecker Engineering System Technology, hailing from Katowice, Poland, has a strong background in consulting, planning, designing, software development, system integration, and switchgear construction. As a recognized leader in automation and robotics solutions in Poland, the company shares a similar customer base with IMA Schelling, ensuring a seamless integration. Retaining its independence, the company, with about 60 employees, will henceforth be known as IMA Schelling Polska Automation.
Maximilian Lehner, Managing Director of IMA Schelling, highlights that these acquisitions align with the company’s strategic vision initiated in 2016 following the merger of IMA Klessmann and Schelling Anlagenbau. He emphasizes that the primary focus of these strategic decisions is to enhance customer value. With the integration of these new partners, IMA Schelling is excited to offer an expanded product range and deeper expertise to its customers.
