New organisation established to ensure continuity and growth
The Riverside Company, the largest Private Equity firm focused on small and medium size companies, has acquired a significant share of EM TEST Group. Several senior members of the second management level have coinvested alongside Riverside and now form the new group of owners together with the founders Harald Kunkel, Uwe Flor and Germano Taddio.
The EM TEST Group consists of EM TEST AG located in Reinach (Switzerland), EM TEST GmbH located in Kamen (Germany) as well as the EM TEST AG Representative Office in Beijing (P.R. of China).
By means of the new organisation and the prosperous financial structure of the EM TEST Group a new platform has been laid out as the basis of a clear strategy of growth from inside as well as by add-on acquisitions leading to synergy effects.
A first impression of the innovative EM TEST Group was given to the public during this year's International Symposium and Congress on EMC in Düsseldorf, Germany (February 19 - 21, 2008). Apart from a range of brand new products like the CWS 500N4, the first compact low frequency generator for testing common-mode disturbances as per IEC 61000-4-16 and related standards, EM TEST has been presenting;
- the complete range of products in an entirely new design
- new software packages for the entire range of products,
- fully supporting Windows Vista,
- an extended range of applications,
- increased functionality as well as
- a complete new Corporate Design.
By means of the above EM TEST has undoubtedly manifested its leading position as manufacturer and supplier of test equipment and systems for conducted and transient immunity testing.
20th Anniversary of EM TEST: EM TEST has celebrated its 20th anniversary together with our customers and suppliers during the EMV 2008 in Düsseldorf. Customers had been very much impressed by the EM TEST appearance and the new products while competitors took notice of the overwhelming response of the visitors at the EM TEST booth.
