The Ludwigsburg-based automation specialist Jetter is strengthening its international presence in mobile automation: at the beginning of July 2019, it acquired 100% of the Hungarian company Elan Systems.
With the acquisition of the Hungarian development specialist for mobile systems, Elan Systems Kft., Jetter is expanding its international activities in municipal and agricultural technology and at the same time extending its research and development capacities. Elan Systems is an owner-managed company specializing in the development, design, manufacture, assembly and testing of customer-specific products.
Jetter has been working successfully with Elan Systems on several development projects for many years. Elan Systems Kft. will be renamed 'Jetter Automation Hungary Kft.' and will remain an independent legal entity. Jetter Automation Hungary Kft. continues to develop hardware and software for controllers, HMIs and communication modules.
