PI Group Strengthens Market Presence of ACS Motion Control in EMEA and APAC

Physik Instrumente (PI) now also offers sales and technical support for ACS Motion Control’s high-performance motion controller and servo drive products in the EMEA and APAC regions. This new agreement strengthens the proximity and availability of the brand in addition to its strong presence in the USA, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as China and Korea. Now, ACS products are accessible to motion control system designers in high-tech equipment fields such as semiconductor and display manufacturing, laser material processing, additive manufacturing, and life science applications. This enables them to increase equipment throughput and accuracy thanks to the extensive PI Group technical sales and support network.

Since the PI Group acquired ACS Motion Control in 2017, sales of ACS products have increased by more than 250 percent worldwide. “The PI organization enables us to significantly enlarge our global footprint and pursue growth opportunities more intensively,” says Dror Marom, CEO of ACS Motion Control. “As a member of the PI Group, ACS is able to invest heavily in the development of new products, algorithms, and solutions which in turn enables us to increase equipment performance and develop life-changing innovations.” The PI Group also provides full motion systems for precision positioning that utilize ACS controllers and offer unique benefits.

“The PI Group is represented in all important markets in EMEA and APAC with its own companies, application expertise, and service. Together, we will develop additional markets within semiconductor manufacturing, photonics, and industrial automation,” emphasizes Andreas Schneider, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of the PI Group.
