Åkerströms Trux is the market leader in Scandinavia for vehicle-mounted computers used in warehouse and distribution applications, according to EMS, and the acquisition will accelerate market share growth for LXE by leveraging the strengths of the two companies.
"This is an important acquisition for EMS for two key reasons," says Paul Domorski, president and CEO of EMS Technologies. "First, it gives our LXE business a boost in the high-growth European market at a time when the EMEA [Euorpe, Middle East and Africa] and Asia markets are outpacing growth in the Americas. Second, it immediately provides LXE with a best-in-class product offering, which serves our combined customer base."
