The fan and motor producer ebm-papst St. Georgen GmbH & Co. KG (ebm-papst) has acquired the Franconian gearbox manufacturer ZEITLAUF® GmbH antriebstechnik & Co KG (Zeitlauf) for an undisclosed consideration.

The company focuses his activities on the following branches: access automation, public transportation, eco power and e-vehicles.
"The acquisition will enable us to offer optimized drive solutions comprising motor, gearbox and software-supported control technology in the future," explains Rainer Hundsdörfer, Chairman of the Board of Management of the ebm-papst Group. "The linkup with ebm-papst will enable us to build on and expand our technological leadership” said Thomas Horz, Managing Director of Zeitlauf.
Oaklins' team in Germany advised ebm-papst on the purchase process and identified Zeitlauf as the most appropriate target.
