Not even a full month after announcing a pair of acquisitions in early August, Motion Industries shared more bolt-on news on Tuesday.
The Birmingham, AL-based MRO distributor said it has completed an acquisition of Applied Machine and Motion Control (AMMC), a Park Hills, KY-based supplier and service provider of motion control and automation products. The deal closed on Tuesday, with a purchase price not given.
“We are very excited to join the Motion team,” said David Locke, AMMC president and founding partner/owner. “The cultural fit and our common goals make it an ideal match, and we look forward to contributing to the company’s growth. Through Motion, we will have access to even more products and capabilities to enhance our value proposition and level of service to our customers.”
The AMMC acquisition follows Motion's similar 2019 purchase of Axis New England and Axis New York — an automation and robotics company that a focus on advanced machine automation. And in 2017, Motion acquired Los Angeles-based Numatic Engineering — a 65-year-old distributor of automation components.
Customer offerings in Motion Industries' Mi Automation Solutions Group include control panels, conveyors, machine vision, motion control, network connectivity, pneumatics, robotics, aluminum extrusion, sensing I/O, and other automation-related solutions.
