HMS Networks, an industrial Information and communication technology company, completed the acquisition of Red Lion Controls, a computer hardware manufacturer, from Spectris, a precision instrumentation and controls supplier, for $345m. “We are very happy to welcome Red Lion into the HMS Networks family, the companies are a great match both when it comes to products, geographic presence, and cultural aspects. The combination of Red Lion’s product portfolio, which is complementary to HMS’ offering and has limited overlap, and the geographic match with Red Lion having a strong position in the attractive North American market, and HMS with its core markets in Europe, will generate good cross-selling opportunities," Staffan Dahlström, HMS Networks CEO.
