TELEMOTIVE Industrial Controls, a US manufacturer of remote control systems, has been bought by Magnetek, which supplies electrification and control products.
Telemotive supplies wireless remote controls and anti-collision systems for use on overhead cranes, hoists, monorail systems, conveyors, locomotives and other material handling applications.
Magnetek sales and marketing vice president Perry Pabich said that Magnetek would continue to work with its current radio control supplier, Hetronic USA. He said that Telemotive and Hetronic had different strengths. He said that the Telemotive acquisition would not alienate Hetronic, but would enable Magnetek to work more closely with Hetronic by pooling strengths where appropriate.
