Pioneering and Future-Oriented: Strong Together in the Rail Market
DUAGON-MEN-GROUP signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of OEM Technology Solutions based in Sydney, Australia. OEM Technology Solutions (www.oem.net.au/) develops and produces control and automation products for the global railway market. In addition to controllers, I/O products and gateways, OEM Technology Solutions offers cloud software services for diagnostics and Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM).
