Pentair announces intent to purchase Steinhauer

Pentair has announced it has signed an agreement to purchase Steinhauer Elektromaschinen AG, Germany, a producer of enclosure machining and related technologies.

With Steinhauer technology, customers of Pentair’s Hoffman line of equipment protection solutions will have the additional benefit of onsite enclosure modification capabilities that will help reduce labor-intensive manual work and increase overall productivity.

“With the addition of Steinhauer to the Pentair family, Hoffman will be able to better serve our customers with a new solution that reduces customer lead time and increases their productivity,” said Alok Maskara, president, Pentair Technical Solutions. “From modifying one-off panels to performing complex modifications, the Steinhauer ModCenter provides efficient, quality solutions for our enclosures.”

“We are looking forward to joining the Pentair family,” said Hermann Nagel, senior executive officer, Steinhauer. “Together with the Hoffman brand of enclosures, we can redefine the way panel shops and integrators create custom enclosure solutions.”
