A 30-year-old, family-owned business, Compac specialises in the design, manufacture and integration of high-tech automatic warehouse systems, input and output handling systems, load and unload devices, and custom automation systems. Compac’s automation solutions are diverse, and include handling systems for the magazine and cardboard industries, and conveyor lines for metal cleaning machines.
With the acquisition, Compac becomes part of the LVD Group. LVD will add Compac systems for metal fabrication to its automation portfolio, broadening the choice of solutions for its punch press, fiber laser and tube-laser cutting machines for customers worldwide. The metal fabrication systems will be branded as LVD, while Compac will retain its brand for automation solutions supplied to other markets. All Compac products will continue to be manufactured at its 7,000 m2 production site in Italy.
“Compac is an innovative manufacturer with a strong engineering mindset and a proven history of advanced automation solutions,” states LVD president and managing director Carl Dewulf. “Our acquisition of Compac was driven by our interest in securing a strong future for our automation product line; to offer customers the most advanced and reliable automation technology that can keep pace with the advances of fibre-laser cutting. With Compac as part of the LVD Group, we gain additional automation know-how and systems experience.”
