RIVIÈRE-DU-LOUP, QC, March 26, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ – Premier Tech’s worldwide presence now extends to a new continent: Oceania. The Industrial Equipment Group (IEG) has acquired Australia-based Kockums Bulk Systems and can now provide even more local support to its clients across all continents.

Kockums Bulk Systems is a 68-year-old company that specializes in packaging equipment and bulk powder handling. With its experienced team and significant technology expertise, Kockums works closely with its customers to make their projects a success. Premier Tech will now build on the experience and know-how of Kockums’s 40-person team to expand IEG’s service offering and worldwide presence.

“The success of our business offerings is based on two pillars: our command of technology, which drives our capacity for innovation, and our deep understanding of client and market needs. Our first acquisition in Oceania will not only increase our global footprint, but also enable us to move closer to our Australia and New Zealand clients and to provide enhanced services and after-sales support in those markets,” said Jean B langer, Premier Tech’s President and Chief Operating Officer.
