TAKING A TRIP TO GEORGIA
CIDAN’s long success story began in 1907 in the Swedish municipality of Götene. 115 years later, the CIDAN Machinery Group is a world-leading full-range supplier of innovative sheet metal machinery and easy-to-use control solutions for multiple industries and sheet metal trade. With the recent acquisition of THALMANN Maschinenbau AG from Switzerland, another forward-looking milestone has been set. One more reason to introduce the traditional Swedish company in more detail and to take a look behind the scenes.
“Perfect match: THALMANN fits perfectly to the CIDAN Group. Our goal is to offer all solutions to our market segment, and by acquiring Thalmann we gain a stronger position, within North America and internationally. This acquisition is a win for both our customers, and our employees. We continue to build a platform of success for all of our stakeholders.” Chandler Barden, President of CIDAN Machinery Americas.
