Tri-Tronics Co., a Tampa, Fla. designer and manufacturer of photoelectric sensors, fiber optic light guides and controls primarily for packaging machines, has acquired Photocraft Inc.
Tri-tronics, a photoelectric sensor manufacturer that designs unique products for industrial packaging, printing, and labeling application problems, announced this month it would be acquiring Photocraft, a company that designs and manufactures rotary optical encoders and photo-electronic sensors.
"This acquisition is a perfect fit for serving our markets with a more complete line of precision products to meet the needs of a wider variety of complex industrial automation requirements," said Scott Seehawer, president of Tri-tronics.
Seehawer referred to the acquisition as "completely synergistic with our engineering, production and sales efforts." He added, "We'll be developing additional products suited for the packaging industry. We want to provide more products and to grow this business by cross selling."
