ARQIS supports SCIO Automation in merger with Elektro Eggers

Düssel­dorf — The SCIO Auto­ma­tion Group has joined forces with Elek­tro Eggers. SCIO Auto­ma­tion, the inter­na­tio­nal group of compa­nies for indus­trial auto­ma­tion, is thus expan­ding its service port­fo­lio in the Process Solu­ti­ons divi­sion to include essen­tial services in the areas of PLC programming and switch­gear cons­truc­tion. At the same time, the resul­ting syner­gies will streng­then SCIO Automation’s market posi­tion and open up further custo­mer segments in the areas of water treat­ment, food and pet food produc­tion and pharmaceuticals. 

The SCIO Auto­ma­tion Group, head­quar­te­red in Fran­ken­thal, Germany, is an inter­na­tio­nal end-to-end auto­ma­tion plat­form that supports compa­nies on their way to Indus­try 4.0. As a system inte­gra­tor, SCIO auto­ma­tes produc­tion and logi­stics proces­ses and, as an inno­va­tor, deve­lops value-adding and custo­­mer-speci­­fic auto­ma­tion products in the areas of auto­no­mous mobile robots, soft­ware, clean­room and food intra­lo­gi­stics and indus­trial coding. The Group unites seve­ral compa­nies and other indi­vi­dual brands at over 40 loca­ti­ons in eight count­ries world­wide under the SCIO Auto­ma­tion brand. 

Elek­tro Eggers GmbH, based in Grasberg, Lower Saxony, is an auto­ma­tion specia­list focu­sing on PLC programming, process control tech­no­logy, hard­ware design, engi­nee­ring services and elec­tri­cal assem­bly and instal­la­tion. Within the SCIO Auto­ma­tion Group, Elek­tro Eggers will be inte­gra­ted as a subsi­diary of VESCON Process GmbH, which also has loca­ti­ons in Colo­gne, Krif­tel, Flens­burg and Schuby. 

An ARQIS team led by Thomas Chwa­lek provi­ded SCIO Auto­ma­tion with compre­hen­sive legal advice on this tran­sac­tion. ARQIS advi­sed SCIO Auto­ma­tion for the first time in connec­tion with this merger.
