The French companies Beumer Sarl and Crisplant Eurl of the Beumer Group, headquartered in Beckum, Germany, are now operating from the same buildings. Together they will now trade under the name Beumer Group France Sarl, with the head office in Bron, near Lyon, France. With this step, the intralogistics specialist continues the integration of Crisplant and further strengthens its long-term company focus.

 

The Danish company Crisplant a/s is one of the leading suppliers of sortation and distribution systems, control technology and system integration, and has been part of the Beumer Group since 2009. With the acquisition of Crisplant, the Beumer Group, a manufacturer of intralogistics systems for conveying, loading, palletising, packaging, sortation and distribution technology, has significantly expanded its portfolio of baggage sorting systems for airports and sorting equipment for courier, express and parcel service providers as well as for mail order companies. By taking over Crisplant the group now embraces a wider range of mechanical handling technology, instead of almost exclusively bulk materials handling as was the case previously.

 

Also in September the group announced that it had acquired the majority shares of Indec Airport Automation (IAA). This airport equipment company, headquartered in Bree, Belgium, produces products for automated baggage loading on to planes. www.beumergroup.com
