Pentair to expand Hoffman brand with Steinhauer purchase
Pentair announced it has signed an agreement to purchase Steinhauer Elektromaschinen AG, Germany, a producer of enclosure machining and related technologies. The planned acquisition will further enhance Pentair’s brand of Hoffman equipment protection solutions by expanding its services capabilities to provide best-in-class tools for customers to design and select the right electrical protection solutions for their applications and automate the panel-building process.
With Steinhauer technology, Hoffman customers will have the additional benefit of onsite enclosure modification capabilities that will help reduce labor-intensive manual work, increase overall productivity and, more importantly, enable them to deliver a complete solution to end users much more quickly.
