Well-known for its expert inspection products since 1998, the Eagle business will continue to operate as a separate entity using existing sales and service channels.
With this strategic business expansion, Eagle customers will benefit from a strengthening of service and support through a larger network of service technicians and application support. Additionally, Eagle is now part of Mettler-Toledo’s Product Inspection division, which is focused on helping food manufacturers meet their inspection requirements.
With this acquisition, Mettler-Toledo is increasing its commitment to the food x-ray business, which will drive additional strategic investments in technology and application development.
“This acquisition is a positive step forward for our global customers and our experienced team as we can bolster customer service while expanding our field support, application capability and market coverage,” said Terry Woolford, general manager, Eagle. “Now part of Mettler-Toledo, Eagle will be even more effective at helping manufacturers enhance quality, safety and productivity on their lines.”
Eagle’s x-ray inspection systems detect contaminants such as metal, glass, stone and bone while also having the ability to check mass, evaluate compartmentalised fill level, and analyse fat content.
Other brands in Mettler-Toledo’s portfolio include Hi-Speed, Garvens, Safeline and CI-Vision for comprehensive product inspection.
