MTL Systems and EKB Group
form joint venture

MTL Instruments Group Ltd is pleased to announce the formation of a joint venture between MTL Systems BV and EKB Industriele Automatisering BV. The joint venture will be known as E&M Systems BV and is formed by combining the existing cabinet assembly operation of MTL Systems BV with project management and administrative functions from EKB. Both companies have worked in close co-in the past and this new development moves that co-operation to a deeper and more formal basis.

E&M Systems BV will operate alongside MTL Instruments BV, which will continue as MTL's sales organisation in the Netherlands and all existing MTL staff will be retained, with Dil Wetherill as the General Manager. EKB will provide administrative, project management and IT support to E&M Systems BV from its base in Beverwijk, under the directorship of Dirk Huisman.

MTL Systems BV has established an enviable reputation for the quality of cabinets produced and the new venture will continue to focus on the Process Industry enclosures markets, especially those with hazardous area requirements. The co-operation between MTL and EKB will provide the foundations for E&M Systems BV to develop and grow, and to better serve the needs of European customers, forging ever closer relationships and delivering cabinets of the highest quality, designed and built in ever reducing lead-times.
