Ampcontrol acquires Primatec QDA

Ampcontrol has announced its strategic acquisition of Primatec QDA, which it says will boost the company’s innovative technology solutions.

Primatec specialises in automation, process control and software solutions to the mining, industrial and utility markets. Ampcontrol says Primatec’s services complement its product offering, which includes electronic products and complete electrical solutions to the mining, tunnelling, infrastructure, utilities and energy sectors.

“The acquisition of Primatec enables us to further grow the Ampcontrol business into areas where we are seeing demand. The technology solutions provided by Primatec will be a significant value-add for Ampcontrol customers as they complement our existing products,” said Ampcontrol CEO and Managing Director Geoff Lilliss.

“It’s a great opportunity to bring Primatec into a well-established, market-leading organisation which will benefit both the employees and customers,” Lilliss said.

The acquisition entails Ampcontrol acquiring the business and assets of Primatec QDA, with the company operating under the Ampcontrol Group as Ampcontrol Automation. The acquisition is available immediately and Primatec employees will be offered ongoing employment with Ampcontrol.

“We have worked closely with Ampcontrol on a number of large coal mining projects in recent months and we believe our combined expertise will deliver a highly attractive solution for our customers in Australia and overseas,” said Clint Bruin, one of Primatec’s founding Directors.
