VINCI Energies expands its industrial portfolio with the acquisiton of RCO Mechatronics in the Netherlands.
VINCI Energies acquires the engineering activities of RCO Mechatronics in Tilburg. The specialised mechatronics and robotics expertise of RCO Mechatronics strengthens the VINCI Energies Industry portfolio in the manufacturing industry.
RCO Mechatronics specialises in the design, development, and production of standardised and customer-specific robot and cobot applications and has more than 20 years of experience in the field of material handling and robotic palletising in the FMCG market. RCO Mechatronics has its own line of standardised SRP cobot/robot palletising systems and machines.
Rob Coenraads, director of RCO Mechatronics: “Becoming part of a larger organisation is a logical step to allow our company to grow further and to continue to offer innovative solutions to our customers. We regularly collaborated successfully on projects with Actemium. It is great that we can now serve the market together.”
Eric Cissen, Perimeter Director at VINCI Energies: “The knowledge and expertise of RCO Mechatronics is complementary to our existing industrial multidisciplinary system integration portfolio. Together we can provide our customers even more effectively with innovative solutions. I am incredibly pleased to welcome RCO Mechatronics and its employees to our organisation.”
This acquisition (asset deal) is fully in line with VINCI Energies’ strategy to reinforce its industrial portfolio with Mechatronics Robotics and Cobotics knowledge. RCO Mechatronics will trade under the brand name Actemium in 2023.
