Nyquist, a provider of industrial motion-control systems for machines such as those used in the medical-equipment manufacturing industries, is to become part of Bosch Rexroth

With effect from 31st October 2005 the Bosch Group will take over the producer of drive and control technology, Nyquist. The company will be assigned to Bosch Rexroth organisationally. The achieved sales of Bosch Rexroth are approximately Eur 4.1 billion (2004 figures) with 26,400 employees.

Under the brand name of Rexroth, the company offers all relevant drive, control and motion technologies: from mechanics, hydraulics and pneumatics through to electronics and the associated services.

Based in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and with branches in Germany, Switzerland, France and Singapore, Nyquist has built up a solid reputation in the motion control arena since the business became fully independent from Philips in 1998.

The company's impressive and innovative product portfolio has found a broad base of customers around the globe.

Nyquist's track record of continuous innovation has unleashed successful products that have scored highly among today's cost and quality conscious machine builders.
