Italian acquisition of the German company Hegra

The international group Rollon, based in Vimercate (close to Milan) and world leader in the production of linear motion systems for various sectors - from railways to aerospace, from machine tools to plastics industry - announced the closing of a deal to take over the German company Hegra which specialises in the production of telescopic and linear guides.

“The acquisition of Hegra is another important step forward in the growth strategy of Rollon and expansion into new business segments that broaden the range of products of the group to offer one of the most complete in the world”, commented Eraldo Bianchessi, CEO of the Rollon Group. “The deal is good news not only for Rollon but also for the entire linear motion market, which will always find a global provider in Rollon for every linear motion solution”.

The takeover of Hegra will enable Rollon to offer not only guides with new profiles and materials but also completely customised and highly performing solutions, thus moving toward an increasingly sophisticated offer that can meet the application needs of the customers. The deal is in line with Rollon’s clear growth strategy, based on the acquisition of manufacturing companies with which it can integrate perfectly at the commercial level and with which it has a mutually complementary function at the industrial level.
