Polyrack agrees takeover of Metalle in Form

The Polyrack Tech-Group, a supplier of system solutions, has taken over Metalle in Form by a Share Deal.

Karlsruhe-based Metalle in Form offers services including the support of engineering tasks, sheet metal processing, unit assembly as well as contract manufacturing of individual parts and items made to drawing, modules and functional units for sophisticated equipment.

Andreas Rapp, CEO and owner of Polyrack Tech-Group, said: “The portfolio of Metalle in Form is a perfect fit for the Polyrack Group. We can increase our capacity on short term with the transfer of their know-how and CNC operations, reduce the reaction times and realise projects even faster.”

The present organisation of Metalle in Form Geräteteile will remain and it will be listed as a subsidiary of Polyrack Electronic-Aufbausysteme under the existing name. The group of companies include the RAPP Kunststofftechnik, RAPP Oberflächenbearbeitung as well as the subsidiaries in Belgium, China, Switzerland and the United States of America. 

Horst Rapp, CEO, owner and founder of Polyrack Tech-Group added: “All positions are maintained at the location in Karlsruhe. We will stay a reliable partner for all employees and particularly the customers of Metalle in Form in the future – exactly the way customers and employees of POLYRACK already know it.”

Andreas Rapp, as well as Uwe Günthner, CTO of Polyrack Tech-Group will constitute the General Management of Metalle in Form. 

A major factor of the acquisition was the geographical proximity of Metalle in Form located in Karlsruhe and the production site in Ettlingen of the Polyrack Group.
