Merger announced: Blaich Automation now under Carrier's control
Carrier, a leading global provider of innovative heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, and building automation technologies, has announced the acquisition of Blaich Automation GmbH. This strategic move is part of Carrier's plan to expand its ability to deliver integrated, intelligent building solutions.
Based in Germany, Blaich Automation specializes in the development and production of energy management solutions based on the BACnet communication protocol. With over 17 years of experience, they have been providing services for plant, building, and media technology to industrial clients, offering solutions that range from concept to engineering, implementation, and long-term support.
The acquisition of Blaich Automation is focused on high-performing, demanding sectors. This move is expected to strengthen Automated Logic's presence in Central Europe, and expand its capabilities in industrial client services.
Karl Boerner, Managing Director Central Europe at Carrier, made a statement about the acquisition, "We are excited to welcome Blaich Automation to the Carrier family. This acquisition is a strategic move that will enable us to deliver even more integrated, intelligent building solutions to our clients in Central Europe."
With the establishment of the first Automated Logic branch in Germany at Carrier's headquarters in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Carrier aims to provide its clients with a comprehensive range of services. These solutions enable building operators to manage systems such as HVAC, lighting, fire safety, elevators, and security on a single platform.
Blaich Automation, which was an independent German building automation specialist before the acquisition, has been developing customized processes for industrial clients' plant, building, and media technology since 2004. The company's acquisition by Carrier and its transformation into the first German branch of Automated Logic is expected to further enhance its services and offerings.
This acquisition is a significant step forward in Carrier's mission to make the world safer, sustainable, and more comfortable. It underscores Carrier's commitment to innovation and its promise to deliver solutions that meet the evolving needs of its clients.
