On 1 March 2021, Brüel & Kj.r Vibro (B&K Vibro) became a company of NSK. On that day, the Darmstadt, Germany, headquarters of B&K Vibro staged an online welcome event to explain the purpose of the acquisition, especially to employees.
In his online address at the event, Saimon Nogami, NSL senior executive vice president, said: “With the acquisition of B&K Vibro we expand our expertise and gain the opportunity to grow the company’s industrial business with advanced condition monitoring services. This is in line with our strategy of offering not only very high-quality motion components, but complete system solutions and services.”
The ultimate aim is for customers to see an improvement in the productivity of machines and the quality of products, thus coming closer to the concept of the “smart shop floor”.
Dr Ulrich Nass, NSK vice-president and NSK Europe CEO, said: “We will use B&K Vibro’s expertise and reputation to help implement successful projects for our customers worldwide and provide them with CMS solutions of high added value.”
