Shimadzu, one of the world leaders in analytical instrumentation, will incorporate its Fluidics Systems Europe business unit into its wholly-owned subsidiary Infraserv Vakuumservice from April 2021. The merger of the two companies combines their strengths and generates synergies that provide even more targeted and better support for customers in Europe’s industrial and off-highway markets. Infraserv Vakuumservice has its specific strengths in repair, maintenance, consulting, and sales capacities, in special solutions and training. Fluidics Systems Europe complements Infraserv Vakuumservice’s portfolio with robust cast-iron hydraulic pumps and valve blocks as well as compact power packs and customized developments. Valued for their robustness, Shimadzu’s external gear pumps and valve blocks are used in forklift trucks as well as pumps in construction and agricultural machinery and are among the most durable in their class worldwide. As before, Fluidics products will be marketed under the Shimadzu brand name.

Infraserv Vakuumservice has been on the market for almost 30 years and has achieved an excellent reputation throughout Europe. Its customers are well-known companies from industry and manufacturing as well as research & development, primarily from the automotive, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, coating, semiconductor, and solar sectors. Infraserv Vakuumservice has been repairing and maintaining Shimadzu turbomolecular pumps as a service partner since 2010.

“We are confident that these changes will enhance the brand experience for our customers,” said Frank Fabrie, managing director of Infraserv Vakuumservice. “The integration will be a smooth process and customer service will continue to be of the highest quality.”
