Mersen announces the completion of the acquisition of Eldre Mersen
Sustainability and energy efficiency represent two driving forces in global growth markets like renewable energy, mass transportation, and motor control (drives and inverters). Power electronics applications are at the center of these growth markets.
Marc Vinet, Group VP, Electrical Protection and member of the Management Board of Mersen states, “The Eldre team is a welcome addition to Mersen. The Eldre acquisition represents a continuation of our product portfolio expansion and uniquely positions Mersen to be able to bundle key products—laminated Bus Bar, cooling, and semiconductor fuses—with application expertise to the benefit of our partner customers.”
Eldre is based in Rochester, NY (United States) with manufacturing facilities in the U.S. (Rochester, NY) and France (Saint Sylvain d'Anjou) and employs approximately 300 people. The business will be integrated into Mersen’s Electrical Components and Technologies segment.
