Emerson has announced plans to acquire German pneumatics technology provider Aventics from Triton.

Emerson, a St. Louis-based fluid automation technology and engineering company, announced plans to acquire German pneumatics technology provider Aventics from Triton for $620 million (€527 million). Emerson expects this acquisition to increase its global reach in the growing $13 billion fluid automation market, which serves the food and beverage, packaging, automotive assembly and medical equipment industries.
