Abstract
AFS Corporate Member Norican Group, home to DISA, ItalPresseGauss, StrikoWestofen, and Wheelabrator, has acquired US-based Simpson Technologies, an AFS Corporate Member that makes equipment for the mixing, dosing, handling, reclamation, and analysis of sand. Joining Denmark-headquartered Norican will expand Simpson's global reach, offer a one-stop shop for joint foundry customers and give chemical process industry customers access to Norican's leading digital technologies. For Norican, the acquisition is a natural extension of its complete foundry offering, strengthening its capabilities in sand preparation, reclamation, and laboratory testing. The acquisition was completed in early October for an undisclosed sum. The existing Simpson team remains in place. Simpson's Bruce W. Dienst will take over the leadership of all Norican activities in the North American region and will continue as president and CEO of Simpson Technologies.
