Rohde and Schwarz has acquired Hameg, expanding its test and measurement product portfolio in the lower price segment.

For almost 50 years now, Hameg has been synonymous with a host of inexpensive and reliable electronic measuring instruments.

Hameg will retain its brand name as an independent subsidiary.

Rohde and Schwarz will absorb all Hameg employees at the Mainhausen, Chemnitz and Munchenbernsdorf locations.

The sales office in France will also carry on with its operations.

Roland Steffen, Head of the Test and Measurement Division at Rohde and Schwarz, remarks: "The purchase of Hameg expands our maneuverability in the lower price segment".

"In the past decades, Hameg has established extensive capabilities in the areas of development, production and sales".

"We will rely on these capabilities to maximise synergy with the parent company".

Karl Hartmann, the former owner of the long-standing company, is glad that his life's work is in good hands: "Rohde and Schwarz embodies the best-owner principle".

"A sustained corporate policy and the preservation of knowhow will ensure Hameg's continued existence".

Hartmann is stepping down for reasons of age.
