Proaut Technology GmbH joins Photonics Systems Group

Proaut Technology GmbH (“Proaut”) is an innovative provider of process automation solutions in the fields of microelectronics and semiconductor technology. The Berlin-based company was founded about 30 years ago by Mr Helmut Muchow and will now become
part of Photonics Systems Group in the context of his succession. As part of the Group, Proaut’s growth will accelerate over the coming years and enable the exploitation of synergies in the area of sales, services and technology.

Helmut Muchow steered the company for a long time but he has not been operationally involved in recent years. The current Proaut management team led by managing director Thilo Wicht has been in charge of the company for many years and will remain responsible for Proaut following the acquisition.

The acquisition brings many advantages both for Proaut and the entire Group. One key aspect is the complementary expansion of the companies’ product and services portfolio. Current clients will thus be able to benefit from additional products and an even better service offering. The Proaut products will be offered to a broader client base through the Group’s current, global sales channels. The innovative capacity of the enlarged Group will be promoted further through cross-disciplinary exchange in research and development as well as complementary competencies.

The owners of Photonics Systems Group target above-average growth rates for the entire Group over the coming years. The growth will be organic and the result of further acquisitions and will involve all the Group locations.
