“Gas production and distribution are growing in importance against the backdrop of energy-policy discussions. As Alpha addresses not only the process industry but particularly also the gas market and is an acknowledged expert in this area, this acquisition will strengthen our competitive position in this attractive growth segment on a sustained basis”, says Dr. Michael Herbermann, CEO of the BIS Group. Alpha GmbH will be integrated within BIS E.M.S., Cloppenburg, which holds a strong position in the gas technologies market.
