Nspyre acquires the engineering and information services activities from Irmato Group

Nspyre incorporates the new activities in the Nspyre engineering services division and sees the acquisition as an important strengthening and broadening of its services. According to Nspyre the technology and customer base are complementary. For instance both companies supply chip machine maker ASML, but also technical companies like Fokker and Stork. Also, both companies expect to partner coming years on various projects within the market.

The divestment is the result of a tightening of Irmato Group’s corporate strategy and the belief that the activities better justice to a company with a strong strategic fit. Nspyre engineering services would continue to specialize and strengthen in the field of mechanics and mechatronics. In addition, Nspyre wants to expand the knowledge of the entire product development process (CAD/CAM/CAE up to EDM/PDM and PLM).

Nspyre employs six hundred people spread across offices in Utrecht, Eindhoven, Zwolle and Leek (Groningen). The company also has an office in Romania. Large customers are ASML and Philips.

Irmato Group employs three hundred people. Irmato Group has ten offices including Drachten, Eindhoven and Groningen. Irmato Group is also active in Germany through its office in Aachen. Major customers include Philips, ASML, Fokker and Stork. Irmato Group will continue to focus on its core activities relating to the provision of high-tech solutions for machine and equipment.
