Smart Manufacturing Group strengthens its position in the process industry through the acquisition of Blending Nederland
The Smart Manufacturing Group (SMG) continues its growth strategy with the acquisition of Blending Nederland. Last week, the acquisition was officially completed with the signing of the agreements, making Blending Nederland part of SMG. This strategic step further strengthens SMG’s position as a leading partner in digitalisation and automation for the manufacturing and semi-process industries.
Blending Nederland
Over the past few years, Blending Nederland has established itself as a specialised partner for companies in the semi-process industry. By combining intelligent software solutions with in-depth industry expertise, the company helps organisations further digitalise their processes and prepare for the future. Rob Schuurman, Managing Director of Blending Nederland:“Our ambition has always been to help our customers make their processes smarter, more efficient and easier to manage. Within Smart Manufacturing Group, we have found an organisation that shares the same vision on innovation, digitalisation and customer focus. By joining forces, we can support our customers even better while continuing to develop our solutions for the semi-process industry, particularly within the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and chemical sectors.”
Roland ten Broeke and Ger Bos, Managing Directors of SMG:“With the addition of Blending Nederland, we are strengthening our position within the semi-process industry. It fits seamlessly with our ambition to support manufacturing companies with innovative and future-oriented technologies. Alongside Exact Software and Priority Software, Infor Blending is now our third ERP platform, enabling us to offer the best solution for customers across a variety of niche markets, complemented by our own Smart Solutions. In addition, Doccomplete expands our portfolio by adding document management and process automation to our existing ScanSys proposition. The knowledge, experience and solutions of Blending Nederland therefore represent a valuable addition to our portfolio.”
