YAGEO buys Telemecanique Sensors for €723m
Taiwanese electronic component manufacturer, YAGEO Corporation, has recently acquired Schneider Electric's Telemecanique Sensors business in an all-cash transaction.
After over 90 years of continuous innovation, Telemecanique Sensors proudly boasts a diverse portfolio of premium electromechanical and electronic sensing solutions for most industrial applications.
YAGEO, founded in 1977, is known for offering a “one-stop-shop” service on its vast portfolio of resistors, ceramic capacitors, ferrites, high-frequency products, aluminium capacitors, and inductors, which are used in consumer electronics, telecommunication, power and automotive sectors.
YAGEO also claims to be the world’s largest producer of chip-resistors and tantalum capacitors.
This transaction is a landmark moment for YAGEO and the industry, as it signals a significant expansion into industrial automation and sensing technology markets for the Taiwanese manufacturer.
What To Expect
Schneider Electric will grant YAGEO a license to use the Telemecanique Sensors name, and YAGEO will obtain the relevant sensor patents.
