Ajax Tocco Acquires Certain Assets of ABP Induction Ajax Tocco获得了ABP感应电炉公司的资产
Ajax Tocco Magnethermic, Warren, Ohio, U.S., an- nounced it has acquired the induction systems assets and intellectual property formerly known as Pillar from ABP Induction, New Brunswick, N.J., U.S. Te business provides induction systems and aftermar-
ket parts and services. Te sale includes ABP’s Brookfield, Wis., and Sterling Heights, Mich., operations. Its induc- tion melting operations in North Brunswick and Massillon, Ohio, are unaffected, as are its international operations ABP Induction Systems Shanghai, Shanghai, China (pre- viously Pillar Shanghai). Ajax said in a press release it will reinstate the name Pillar
Induction and operate the assets as a separate division. All Pillar products will continue to be sold, and markets served will continue to be supported. All personnel associated with the Pillar products have been transferred to the new division. “With excess capacity in the U.S. induction heating
equipment market today and for the foreseeable future, we believe consolidation is necessary,” said Paul Decker, ABP’s chief executive officer. “Tis transaction provides an attrac- tive return to our shareholders while freeing resources for ABP to focus on its core [metalcasting] market and induc- tion heating outside of North America, particularly in the rapidly growing markets.” ■
位于美国俄亥俄州Warren 的Ajax Tocco Magne-
thermic公司宣布获得了位于新泽西New Brunswick的 ABP感应电炉公司（以前称为彼乐Pillar）的感应系统 资产和知识产权。
该交易提高感应系统和售后配件和服务，还包 括ABP的威斯康辛州Brookfield的工厂和密歇根州 Sterling Heights的工厂。ABP在俄亥俄Massillon和 North Brunswick的感应熔炼工厂不受影响，这两家是 ABP感应电炉上海公司（以前彼乐上海公司）的工厂。 Ajax在招待会上说将重新沿用彼乐感应电炉（pil- lar）的名称，并独立运行。所有的彼乐产品将销售， 市场服务也继续。所有和彼乐产品相关的人员都转到了 这个新的部门。
ABP的首席执行官Paul Decker说：“考虑到现在和 可预见的未来美国感应加热设备市场都产能过剩，我们 认为收缩巩固是必要的。这项交易对股民有吸引力，这 将释放资源，使ABP关注核心的铸造业务和北美以外的 感应加热市场，尤其是快速成长的新兴市场。” ■
