WELOTEC acquired by WESTERMO

Westermo has acquired Welotec to bolster its capabilities in industrial networks and cutting-edge computing solutions for critical infrastructure. The strategic move aims to combine the complementary expertise of both companies: Westermo's robust industrial communication solutions and Welotec's edge computing technologies. The goal is to provide more integrated solutions for the digitalization of energy and industrial infrastructure, particularly in the automation of electrical substations and production environments. By joining forces, the two companies can now cover both system connectivity and local data processing, two essential building blocks of modern industrial architectures. The acquisition also supports Westermo's international expansion by strengthening its access to European industrial customers and broadening its portfolio of solutions in cybersecurity, edge-to-cloud, and automation. Furthermore, the integration of Welotec is expected to enable the establishment of a dedicated edge computing center of excellence in Germany, while accelerating the development of joint solutions for the energy and industrial manufacturing sectors.
