"With this acquisition we secured expertise in the development and production of transformers as well as the necessary production capacities for future growth".
"While Midcom previously primarily focused on key accounts, we will expand product availability to our broad customer base without compromising service and availability, for which we are known for".
"At the same time our Chinese manufacturing facilities remain focused toward the production of customer specific solutions".

"One particular aspect for which we have made a name for ourselves regardless of our customer size, is the quick availability of our parts".
"With production sites in Germany, USA Eastern Europe and China, we are well prepared for the future''.
