BAADER, a manufacturer and supplier of food processing machinery and solutions, has acquired a majority stake in Irish company EMYDEX Technology.
EMYDEX provides Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software for the food processing sector.
EMYDEX was founded in 2004 in Ireland and has since expanded globally with its software now used in food processing facilities across Canada, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
BAADER is headquartered in Luebeck, Germany and has 30 subsidiaries in Europe, the USA, China, South America, Africa and Asia.
It has acquired EMYDEX as a subsidiary company.
"As a crucial strategic pillar for the BAADER Group, digitalisation will be significantly strengthened through this acquisition, promising increased value for our customers in the future," said Petra Baader, CEO of BAADER Global.
David McMahon, CEO of EMYDEX, described the announcement as a landmark day for the company.
"BAADER, with its similar culture and ethos, as well as the access it provides to new markets, was the ideal partner to help bring EMYDEX on the next stage of its journey," Mr McMahon said.
