ECM Group has signed the acquisition of IOS on January 30, 2024. IOS “Industrie Ofen Service” is based in Arnsberg, Germany, and is specialized in the maintenance of industrial furnaces for vacuum heat treatment. It currently employs a dozen people and operates mainly in German-speaking and Northern European markets. Backed by a wealth of know-how, the company provides expert support to its customers, and prides itself on responsiveness and high quality.
This acquisition will enable the ECM Group to consolidate its presence in Germany and strengthen its industrial furnace after sales business. This entity will also enable the ECM Group to improve its responsiveness by being closer to its German customers and serve them even better.
For IOS, joining the ECM Group will enable it to pursue its growth and benefit from the support of a leading group in its market, while keeping its independence. Still managed by Timm Rüth, IOS will continue its historical activity and, in the medium term, will be trained on the products of ECM Technologies, the Grenoble-based Group’s main subsidiary.
