MPDV takes over Felten Group
By acquiring the Felten Group, MES expert MPDV Mikrolab hopes to gain access to companies from the process manufacturing sector. After joining the MPDV Group, Felten will continue to exist as its own independent company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
With 50 employees and locations in Germany and Luxembourg, Felten has implemented production management projects in around three dozen countries around the world. Nathalie Kletti, member of the MPDV management board, will join the Felten management team, which was previously held by founder Werner Felten alone.
