Premier Tech acquires technological portfolio, products and brand IMECO, an Italian weighing and bagging company

Premier Tech acquisition of IMECO

Rivière-du-Loup, November 7, 2024 — Premier Tech is pleased to expand its European footprint with the acquisition of technological portfolio, products and brand IMECO, an Italian supplier of weighing, bagging and palletizing equipment based in Cremona, Italy.

With this acquisition, Premier Tech Systems and Automation will not only strengthen its position in the market but also enhance its ability to serve its clients on a global scale. This strategic decision supports its commitment to innovation and excellence, reaffirming its leading position in the industry.

The clients of IMECO can now be supported by an extensive international network, including a global team of service experts, with over 35 years of experience in automation. Clients will access the right solution to meet their needs through a comprehensive technological portfolio and can expect improved support from a dedicated aftermarket team.

Unfortunately, this does not enable Premier Tech to fulfill incomplete or undelivered equipment transactions and other commitments made with IMECO prior to Premier Tech acquisition.

This is an opportunity to get closer to our markets and deepen our relationship with our customers, our primary focus is to deliver unparalleled value to our clients and enhance their overall experience.

— Simon Roy, president and chief operating officer of Premier Tech Systems and Automation

This acquisition follows the strategic partnership of Premier Tech with MG Tech, in France, supporting its growth and strengthening its position in the European market.
