Kollmorgen buying New England Affiliated Technologies

To give it complete positioning systems capability, Kollmorgen Corp. agreed April 26 to purchase 25-year-old New England Affiliated Technologies (NEAT, Lawrence, Mass.). With 1998’s sales of $13 million, NEAT’s 100 employees design and produce single-axis stages, x-y tables, integrated workstations, and air-bearing slides. “NEAT serves the next rung up the value ladder. They have the application experience and skills to combine our motors, drives, and servo systems with tables, slides, and workstations into precise positioning systems, especially in the field of linear motion control,” says Gideon Argov, Kollmorgen’s chairman and ceo.
