Igus integrates cable assembly operations following the acquisition of Krott Electronic.
Motion plastics specialist Igus has announced the acquisition of Krott Electronic, a move aimed at consolidating its manufacturing capabilities within the industrial automation sector. By integrating Krott Electronic’s specialized expertise in cable assembly and electronic components, Igus intends to shorten lead times for its ready-to-connect cable solutions.
The transaction reflects a broader trend among industrial manufacturers to internalize critical production stages to mitigate supply chain volatility and enhance service customization. For Igus, this acquisition provides immediate access to specialized facilities and a skilled workforce, enabling the company to scale its delivery of high-performance components for demanding industrial environments.
As industrial clients increasingly demand integrated, turnkey automation solutions, Igus’s move to secure in-house electronic assembly capabilities positions it to capture a larger share of the value chain. The acquisition underscores the company’s commitment to improving operational efficiency and expanding its technical service portfolio to meet the evolving requirements of its global client base.
