Synerlink acquires cutting tool manufacturer Sogameca

The addition of Sogameca extends Synerlink’s production capacity for its Aprium end-of-line business and enhances its spare parts and cutting and sharpening services.

‘We are very proud to have the Sogameca team join the Synerlink family,’ said Eric Lesbats, Synerlink president. ‘As one of our most loyal and innovative suppliers for more than 20 years, we have collaborated closely with them. Their unique mechanical competencies, both in design and machining, will allow us to satisfy our customers’ growing needs, especially within our Aprium end-of-line solutions. We look forward to introducing our global customer base to Sogameca’s exciting technology and capabilities.’

Sogameca is Synerlink’s fourth acquisition since joining Barry-Wehmiller in 2013. In 2014, Synerlink acquired Axone Systems of Troyes, France; in 2015, Dinieper of Sao Paulo, Brazil; and in 2016, Dairy Pack of Logroño, Spain.

‘We are pleased to introduce our caring culture and people-centric leadership practices to our new Sogameca team members and look forward to working alongside them in creating long-term value for all of our stakeholders,’ said Bob Chapman, Barry-Wehmiller chairman and CEO.
