Moog Completes Integration of Berkeley Process Control, Re-Brands Berkeley Process Control's Product Offerings
| Source: Moog Inc.
EAST AURORA, NY--(Marketwire - April 3, 2009) - Moog Inc. (NYSE : MOG.A )
(NYSE : MOG.B ) has completed the integration of Berkeley Process Control and
has re-branded Berkeley's offerings as Moog. Last October, Moog
acquired Berkeley in order to add a line-up of high-performance motion
control products for improving manufacturing processes across an array of
industrial applications. For example, Berkeley's software and hardware
automate the precision handling of semiconductor wafers and enhance the
speed, quality and safety of welding for complex technical applications.
"We believe the Berkeley acquisition opens new markets for us, and this
re-branding effort is a logical way to introduce users and potential buyers
of Berkeley's products to Moog," said Dave Fijas, group vice president and
general manager of Moog Industrial
Group, Americas. "The Moog name is synonymous with delivering
high-performance motion control solutions like Berkeley's. Berkeley's
customers will benefit from Moog's global footprint and its technology and
engineering assets."
Berkeley's BX-series of products will now be branded as the Moog BX-series.
And the patented Berkeley Autocalibration® technology, which improves the
productivity of semiconductor wafer-handling equipment, will now be known
by the name Moog Autocalibration®.
The Moog BX-300™ Motion & Machine Controller is a pre-integrated
hardware and software platform for motion control. The platform's flexible
architecture enables manufacturers to design sophisticated solutions for
complex motion control challenges. The Moog BX-300™ also accelerates the
time it takes machine builders to bring new designs to market.
