The Schunk Group has acquired the cleanroom provider Solutions and Handling (S+H). The medium-sized company specializes in the production of cabins and cabin components. S+H was founded in 1999, has around 20 employees and is headquartered in Kempen (North Rhine-Westphalia).

"With the acquisition of S+H, we are complementing Weiss Technik's business in air solutions," said CEO Peter R. Manolopoulos. "The company fits in very well with our Weiss Klimatechnik company and rounds off its portfolio with its expertise."

"As a medium-sized company, S+H focuses in particular on customers from the microelectronics sector and specializes in the production of cabins and cabin components for cleanrooms," says Dr. Petra Schmidt, COO of Division Machinery & Equipment at Schunk and thus responsible for the technology group's mechanical engineering business. "In future, we will be able to offer S+H customers additional services for their cleanrooms through Weiss Klimatechnik, such as air conditioning and service."

"With Schunk as a financially strong parent company, we will be able to implement significantly larger projects in the future than before and thus expand our customer base," said Michael Starke and Steffen Wessel, the managing partners of S+H, delighted with the purchase by Schunk.
