elmo運(yùn)動控制公司和博世力士樂公司（隸屬于博世集團(tuán)）簽署了一項(xiàng)合并協(xié)議，博世力士樂公司收購elmo公司的全部活動、資產(chǎn)和員工。收購價格沒有披露，但以色列報(bào)紙calcalist表示該交易的標(biāo)價為7億美元。該交易須經(jīng)反壟斷批準(zhǔn)。elmo運(yùn)動控制公司的總部設(shè)在特拉維夫附近的佩塔提科瓦（petach-tikva），致力于開發(fā)和生產(chǎn)適用于工業(yè)自動化領(lǐng)域的電氣高端伺服驅(qū)動器和運(yùn)動控件。

elmo is planned to remain as an israel entity, with local management and retaining the current staff of 330 employees. bosch said its intentions are to enhance elmo’s capabilities of developing and manufacturing the most advanced motion and servo control products. “there is continuously growing demand for smart automation and industry 4.0 solutions,” said thomas fechner, head of the bosch rexroth automation and electrification solutions business unit. “we are strengthening our portfolio both organically and through acquisitions.”

elmo公司計(jì)劃繼續(xù)作為一個以色列實(shí)體，采用本地化管理，并保留現(xiàn)有的330名員工。博世表示，其意圖是加強(qiáng)elmo公司開發(fā)和制造最先進(jìn)的運(yùn)動和伺服控制產(chǎn)品的能力。博世力士樂自動化和電氣化解決方案業(yè)務(wù)部負(fù)責(zé)人thomas fechner表示：“市場對智能自動化和工業(yè)4.0解決方案的需求與日俱增，我們正在通過有機(jī)方式以及收購來加強(qiáng)我們的產(chǎn)品組合。”

“factory automation is a bbbbb focus topic at bosch rexroth. elmo’s technology enables us to integrate drives the size of a smartphone into robots or autonomous transport vehicles, for example,” says fechner. “elmo technologies thus open up new fields of application that pose special technological challenges, such as autonomous transport vehicles, service robotics, or the decentralized arrangement of drives in machines.”

“毫無疑問，工廠自動化是博世力士樂的一個發(fā)展重點(diǎn)。elmo的技術(shù)使我們能夠?qū)⒅悄苁謾C(jī)大小的驅(qū)動器集成到機(jī)器人或自動運(yùn)輸車輛中。”fechner說，“因此，elmo技術(shù)開辟了新的應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域，可以應(yīng)對特殊的技術(shù)挑戰(zhàn)，比如自動運(yùn)輸車輛、服務(wù)機(jī)器人或機(jī)器驅(qū)動器的分散配置。”
