Fagor Automation has acquired the majority of the shares of the Italian company FR Engraving S.r.l. located in Legnano (Italy). It is a technological company dedicated to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of engraved substrates, based on metal strips and glass. This engraving is carried out through different processes.
The transaction was formalized on May 23, with Fagor Automation taking a 51% majority stake in the company.
This operation reaffirms Fagor Automation's direction towards strengthening its technological capabilities associated with its diversification strategy in the field of position measurement for different applications.
"The majority stake in FR Engraving S.r. is related to our innovation strategy, which in recent years has been aimed at focusing efforts on our core technologies.

Industry diversification
This new acquisition is another example of Fagor Automation's strategy, whose main objective is to continue to strengthen its commitment to technology.
