Crouzet takes over Microprecision Electronics
Crouzet Automatismes SAS from Valence, France, acquires Microprecision Electronics SA, a Swiss manufacturer of electromechanical components.
Microprecision has been manufacturing high-precision snap-action switches and position sensors for demanding industrial applications since 1956. The company supplies the industrial and building automation, lifting systems, machinery, marine and medical sectors.
With the acquisition, Crouzet expands its product offering with a range of electromechanical components: sealed snap-action switches with minimal differential travel and high-precision position sensors. At the same time, the company is expanding its geographical presence in Central Europe with a production plant in Switzerland.
Following the acquisition of Garos earlier this year, this second acquisition confirms Crouzet's strategy of accelerating growth through acquisitions in its target markets.
Crouzet is a manufacturer of electromechanical and electronic components for applications in the aerospace, transportation, energy, building technology and machinery industries.
