The evolution enables Ascential Technologies to work more effectively while increasing the added value for customers and employees
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ascential Technologies, a global leader in automated diagnostic, inspection, assembly and test systems and services, has transformed its General Industries business unit into Ascential Technologies, Test & Measurement Systems (or T&M). This transition will enable Ascential Technologies to better serve its customers by leveraging the collective innovation, expertise, best practices and technology of the five formerly independent brands (CIMAT, Galileo, Kleinknecht, Lismar and Titan). This will result in an enhanced, streamlined and unified business unit that can better serve customer needs in key industries including HVAC, appliances, heavy equipment, steel, automotive, aerospace and energy.
As part of the rebranding, CIMAT, Galileo, Kleinknecht, Lismar and Titan will become product brands under the T&M umbrella. This will create individual technology competence centers that will innovate, develop, promote and use targeted technology platforms. The parent company will remain Ascential Technologies and the other two business units will continue to operate as Burke Porter (Transportation) and Ascential Medical and Life Sciences.
“The alignment of the T&M division represents a significant growth opportunity for Ascential Technologies as a whole. It allows us to more effectively address the needs of our customers and more clearly specify the core competencies of the division. This creates a great opportunity to expand our technical and innovative capabilities and increase the global reach of our products and services,” said Scott Watts, General Manager of Ascential Technologies’ Transportation and Test & Measurement Systems business units. “Ultimately, this development will create value for our customers and employees and enable our team to work more effectively. It goes without saying that we will continue to provide our customers with the same exceptional service and remain committed to partnering with them on their most critical projects where the cost of failure is high.
At an operational level, the tighter integration of each brand entity under the new brand will result in a closer connection between the engineering and R&D teams, which will encourage collaboration and innovation efforts. In addition, a new, collective global service organization will be able to deliver faster response and higher lifecycle value as a result of a more comprehensive, effective support structure. This streamlined and unified structure leverages the strength of each individual product brand and its global service presence, providing a broader path for innovative test and measurement solutions and greater reach for global expansion.
This move is consistent with one of the key benefits and focus areas announced by Ascential Technologies as part of the Burke Porter Group rebranding in September 2023: faster time to market and greater reach.
