The acquisition will allow Premier Tech to expand its worldwide reach.
Premier Tech, Rivière-du-Loup, Canada, acquired the Mexican company IDTec Automatización. Premier Tech said its acquisition will allow it to offer local aftermarket support for Mexican and Latin American companies. Together, IDTec and Premier Tech aim to exceed expectations in terms of client experience especially for technical support, parts deliveries and preventive maintenance programs on packaging equipment lines.
“After positioning ourselves in Brazil in 2015, the only next logical step was to have a local presence in the second largest economy in Latin America — Mexico,” said André Noreau, president of systems and automation at Premier Tech.
