Marchesini Group acquires 40% of Vibrotech

The Marchesini Group has just acquired 40% of the Tuscan manufacturer, Vibrotech in Bientina (Pisa), which makes infeed and positioning systems for automated industrial processes.

This transaction will also allow Vibrotech and Marchesini to strengthen their businesses in regard to opportunities deriving from the Revolution 4.0 with positive effects on the short-medium term for both the turnover of Vibrotech (3.2 million in 2016) and for the number of its employees: today’s 25 employees will be doubled in two years, acquiring expert mechanical and automation technicians, but also high-school and university graduates.

Vibrotech, founded in 2005, has closed 2016 with a turnover of €297 million, 9% higher than 2015 and with a gross operating surplus of 21%. The consolidated portfolio 30 June 2017 is €340m (+27%), whereas the orders received in the same period are worth €155m, 23% more than the same period of the previous year.

Maurizio Marchesini, The President of The Marchesini Group, said: “Looking at these figures, we are sure we will exceed the 300 million mark in 2017 and that we will consolidate other important transactions in the near future.”
