SCIO Automation acquires Spanish automation specialist Modumaq

SCIO Automation is continuing to expand its international presence by acquiring Modumaq Soluciones Tecnológicas S.L. The acquisition of the company, SCIO’s ninth to date, is expected to be completed in early December 2021. Modumaq, which is based in Toledo, Spain, specializes in automated intralogistics solutions for clients in Europe and South America.

The acquisition of the Modumaq Group, which is the ninth since SCIO’s inception, is fully in line with SCIO’s globalization strategy.

“From the very beginning, we set ourselves the goal of not only expanding our portfolio of services, but also growing and further strengthening our market position. Modumaq already has a very successful foothold in the South American market, as well as Spain, and from a group perspective, this gives us the opportunity to expand our customer base in these regions.”
