On 7 September 2017, the specialist valve company SED Flow Control GmbH headquartered in Bad Rappenau, Germany joined SAMSON. With this acquisition, SAMSON adds valves for the pharmaceuticals and biotech as well as the food and beverages markets to its product range.
“By acquiring SED, we will further strengthen our leading role in the pharmaceuticals and biotech sector and consistently drive digitized process automation based on smart, networked valve technology by SAMSON in these markets as well“, said Dr. Andreas Widl, CEO of SAMSON.
