(JHFOSTER), a value-added partner of fully-integrated automation solutions, turn-key systems, and distributor of electrical and pneumatic automation components, parts and accessories, compressed air systems, collaborative and industrial robotics, and customized systems to automate manufacturing has finalized its acquisition of Accu Tech USA. Known nationally for delivering customizable automation and motion control products, Accu Tech USA also specializes in providing engineering support including application design, selection of products and project implementation.

“Our customers will now have the largest selection of actuators, ball screws, collaborative robots and linear guides in North America,” Swedberg explains. “Not only that, but they’ll receive application engineering support and machine services as well. Being able to supply and customize machined parts for specific applications, while offering that specific engineering support, we can truly say we offer the full-service automated solution.”
