Hoerbiger further extends explosion protection portfolio with Brilex acquisition
Hoerbiger Group, Zug, Switzerland, on 1st April acquired privately held Brilex Gesellschaft für Explosionsschutz mbH, based in Brilon, Germany. Brilex is a leading provider of passive explosion relief venting products with over 20 years of industry experience. All interests in the company were privately held by founder Martin Bunse. It operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with an experienced direct sales organisation and a broad network of distributors. The parties agreed to keep the purchase price confidential.
Brilex’s range of products include patented, ATEX-certified explosion vents developed in-house and flameless vents, which will complement Hoerbiger’s explosion relief valves. In September Hoerbiger purchased USA-headquartered IEP Technologies, LLC and in January acquired UK-based Newson Gale Ltd, both specialising in different areas of explosion protection (see EBS News for weeks of 31 August 2015 and 4 January 2016, respectively). "Our goal is to position Hoerbiger even more strongly as a safety technology solution provider in the industrial process industry with performance-defining safety solutions," commented the group’s CEO and chairman Dr Martin Komischke. www.hoerbiger.com; www.brilex.eu « Back
