After three years of cooperation between the partners, KEB Automation has acquired a majority stake in Brusatori Electric Motors (Milan). The new shareholders' meeting has also determined the new company management.
KEB and Brusatori will continue to work together through the third generation of the Brusatori family members and the new managing director, Marco Sala.
"These last months have been a time of intense discussion and collaboration between the two companies; in conclusion, we have decided together to take further strategic steps in order to consolidate the partnership that will allow us to offer greater technological value to our customers," Sala said. "Brusatori has been expertly run for several generations by the Brusatori family, achieving important growth results and establishing its brand in the electric motor market. For this and for the trust shown to me, my heartfelt thanks go to the KEB and Brusatori Partners. Ahead of us we have a future of cooperation and synergies that, we are sure, will allow us to continue the path of growth and face the new challenges ahead, achieving important results, thanks to the collaboration of all Brusatori's professionals."

I am sure that the consolidation of the partnership will bring further growth in terms of results and a further development of our solutions, which will be more and more integrated and competitive. I wish both companies a successful future."
