Kollmorgen Acquires MCS Engenharia

Kollmorgen has acquired MCS Engenharia Ltda., a Brazilian-based manufacturer and system integrator of standard and customized high-performance motion controllers and complementary motion control components.

“MCS has a technically savvy and service-oriented staff of 40, and is recognized throughout Brazil for its excellent after-sales support.
