Simco and Ion merge static control brands

Simco Industrial, a provider of electrostatic technology, has unveiled its new corporate identity – Simco-Ion. The change follows the company’s recent acquisition of Ion Systems, a manufacturer of electrostatic and process monitoring equipment for high technology markets such as semiconductor, disk drive and other electronic clean room manufacturing.

Simco also acquired Ion Industrial, Ion Systems’ industrial applications unit specializing in electrostatic products for the converting, printing, packaging and plastics markets. According to Simco-Ion management, the company has now integrated these diversified product lines into a single, expanded worldwide offering.

The company’s customer support team worldwide has also increased, said Jay Perry, Simco-Ion’s US industrial business unit manager. ‘This growth gives Simco-Ion an even greater opportunity to study electrostatic problems across even more applications. This real-world insight gives us a significant advantage in developing highly successful solutions tailored to specific customer needs.’
