The acquisition strengthens Rockwell Automation’s presence in the Asia-Pacific motor control market by adding capabilities in design, engineering and manufacturing of medium voltage drive products.
It also provides access to grid-tie inverter technology. Jiuzhou has successfully served as Rockwell Automation’s contract manufacturer for seven years, in addition to its own customer base.
Mike Laszkiewicz, vice president, general manager, Rockwell Automation power control business, said: “Jiuzhou’s medium voltage drives business accelerates our emerging markets strategy. It will enhance our position in the critical Asia-Pacific region by strengthening capabilities in the mid- and higher-power rated product lines.”
Closing is expected in October.
