TMEIC Corporation of Roanoke, Virginia, a designer and developer of automation systems, AC and DC motors, photovoltaic inverters and variable frequency drives, have announced that it will merge operations with TMEIC’s North American manufacturing operation in Katy, Texas. TMEIC Power Electronics Products Corporation’s 42,000 square foot factory manufactures the TMdrive-MVe2 and TMdrive-MVG2 medium voltage drives along with the Solar Ware Ninja utility-scale solar power photovoltaic inverters. The new company will be known as TMEIC Corporation Americas, and the former TMEIC Power Electronics Products Corporation will become the Power Electronics Systems Business Unit of TMEIC Corporation Americas.
"Integrating the two businesses will have an immediate impact on our ability to improve communications between the sales and manufacturing teams and thus, better serve our clients throughout North America," said Dale Guidry, TMEIC Corporation president and CEO.
"In the future, we will have the ability to expand our manufacturing capabilities and capacity and establish the Katy operation as one of TMEIC’s primary North American technology centers," said Manmeet Bhatia, TMEIC Corporation COO.
According to TMEIC, in addition to the technical and engineering synergies that will result from the merger, combining the sourcing, import-export and project coordination operations of the two businesses will improve efficiencies and reduce lead times.
