We are talking about a company that has built its position on technologies of excellence, advanced engineering skills and a deep knowledge of the needs of the pharmaceutical and medical industry. This acquisition fits perfectly into our growth path along the entire mechatronics chain: from process automation to the most advanced packaging and quality control solutions. Integrating Colamark means further expanding our technology portfolio, accelerating the development of high value-added solutions for global customers and structurally strengthening our presence in Asia'.
"We are excited to become part of MECH-I-TRONIC," comments Daniel Chan, CEO of Colamark, "by combining complementary strengths we will be able to create more value for our customers. Colamark's widespread geographic presence, technologically advanced solutions and deep industry experience will create immediate synergies in the provision of complete solutions in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. We will provide systems and services to global customers quickly thanks to the decentralisation of our resources.
