The Schunk Group has acquired a majority stake in MS Ultrasonic Technology Group, a leader in the ultrasonic welding of plastics. With its subsidiary Schunk Sonosystems, Schunk is a global leader in the ultrasonic welding of metals. The two companies will combine their expertise in the field of ultrasonic welding under the umbrella of the Schunk Group, and the merger will sustainably strengthen the UTG locations in Spaichingen and Ettlingen, Germany as well as Howell, MI. They will benefit enormously from the global presence, network and know-how of the entire Schunk Group. This puts MS Ultrasonic Technology in an excellent position for further growth and long-term development.
