Vanguard Automation’s unique solutions will help speed up photonic interconnects and cut energy consumption at the same time”, says Magnus Marthinsson, Sr VP Global Technologies at Mycronic.
The transaction is expected to be finalized in April 2024, after which Vanguard Automation GmbH will form a new business line within the Global Technologies division.
