Accretech, the international product brand of Tokyo Seimitsu Co. headquartered in Munich, has taken over the Balance (SBS) product line from Schmitt Industries Inc. The purchase was initiated with the affiliated Tosei Engineering Group. SBS is headquartered in Portland, USA, and has a worldwide distributor network with its own distribution sites in Germany and the UK. Tokyo Seimitsu is known worldwide under the Accretech brand name.
For highly automated global solutions
Accretech develops high-precision measurement systems and offers customized, technologically proven solutions for production lines. With the acquisition of SBS, Accretech expands its product portfolio with automatic and manual balancing devices, as well as acoustic emission detection solutions. Schmitt Industries' SBS product line is a world leader in grinding wheel balancing and grinding process monitoring. The dynamic balancing systems developed by SBS are able to detect vibrations as small as 0.02 micrometers and apply a dynamic correction to guarantee product quality. Acoustic emission sensors from SBS are a valuable aid to optimizing the efficiency of the grinding process, and consequently also to increasing part throughput and lowering operating costs. As inline products, SBS products are part of integrated solutions.
The Managing Director of Accretech Europe GmbH Wolfgang Bonatz attests: "Schmitt's SBS line is the ideal complement to Accretech inline products. By integrating the SBS product portfolio, we are now able to offer our customers global solutions in terms of profitability and automation."
An extensive portfolio
SBS systems are mainly sold to machine tool manufacturers and sanding machine operators. SBS precision balancing systems are used by many of the world's leading manufacturers of automobiles, aircraft, astronautics, steel, bearings and precision parts. Not to mention other sectors that require very precise manufacturing tolerances benefit from the high quality of SBS systems. "We are convinced that Accretech is the ideal strategic partner for SBS. With its expertise in measuring systems, Accretech is able to optimize the SBS® Business area, while continuing to offer SBS customers first-class support "n says Michael Zapata, CEO of Schmitt Industries.
Tosei Engineering, owner of the Accretech Group's integrated solutions, develops and produces high-quality automated solutions for patented measuring transducers. Thanks to their modular structure, these control devices can be adapted to the requirements and needs of each individual customer. Accretech's measuring devices are distinguished by their precision and reliability, and are used in the automotive industry, medical technology, aerospace, mechanical engineering and workshops. Many of our devices are patented.
Thanks to this merger, Accretech can draw on the SBS distributor network and integrate new customers.
