Acquisition of INglass successfully closed

The acquisition of the Italian company INglass and its innovative hot runner systems technology operating under its market-leading HRSflow business by Oerlikon has been successfully closed.

Oerlikon HRSflow will be integrated into the Oerlikon Flow Control Solutions Business Unit, which is part of the Oerlikon Polymer Processing Solutions Division. After receiving all the required merger control approvals, Oerlikon and INglass successfully closed the acquisition on June 9, 2021. INglass will be consolidated as of June 1, 2021.
