With the acquisition of DFT Maschinenbau GmbH, a full-service supplier of automated assembly and testing equipment, HAHN Automation, a subsidiary of the HAHN Group, is expanding its expertise in the field of assembly and testing technology. The company, based in Kremsmünster, Austria, has around 100 employees and will become a fully-owned subsidiary of HAHN Automation GmbH. The takeover is still subject to the approval of the anti-trust authorities.
“Thanks to its many years of expertise in assembly and testing technology, DFT Maschinenbau GmbH represents the ideal addition to our corporate portfolio,” says Frank Konrad, CEO of HAHN Automation.
“DFT’s LEAN concept for semi-automated assembly lines in particular harbors exciting potential that we want to expand further together. With a further 100 highly skilled staff members, we will be able to consolidate our market position for the long term. We are very much looking forward to welcoming our DFT colleagues to the HAHN family.”

With a strong partner like HAHN Automation, we are able to raise this to a new level. We are convinced that we will be able to expand new markets together, such as China and Mexico,” says Jürgen Prenninger. “Our customers will be able to benefit from HAHN Automation’s global service network.
