Bucher Emhart Glass folds automation unit into core business
Bucher Emhart Glass has integrated Bucher Automation Tettnang, formerly known as Futronic, into its organisation. The glass-forming machinery maker says the move combines its automation subsidiary's process-control and digital expertise with its own manufacturing and service network to offer customers a single partner for controls, mechanical work and turnkey retrofits.
