A Dutch company, which has been a partner in distributing sheet metal working machinery for some years, has now been acquired as a subsidiary by Trumpf, Germany

Trumpf assumed all shares in its long-term Dutch sales partner Moller Metaal. The new subsidiary will operate under the name Trumpf Nederland BV. The company is to remain at its current location in Hengelo and continue to employ about 40 people. Moller Metal has been a Trumpf partner company in the Netherlands since 1953.

he company’s focus was machine tool sales and marketing.

Laser sales went directly through Trumpf.

With the integration of Moller Metaal, this will change.

The new subsidiary will pool the essential market activities of the entire Trumpf Group in the Netherlands.

This step is part of Trumpf’s internationalization strategy: to have subsidiaries operating in specific markets to be closer to its customers.

The competency of the Moller Metaal employees, soon to be Trumpf Nederland, can be continued to be relied upon to achieve this goal in the Netherlands.
