Bimba acquires Vaccon Company Inc.

University Park, Illinois – Bimba, an innovator of pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric motion solutions, has acquired Vaccon Company Inc., an innovator in vacuum technology that includes vacuum pumps, vacuum cups, end-of-arm tools, and accessories.

Pat Ormsby, president of Bimba, says, “This acquisition reflects Bimba’s dedication to technology expansion and growth. The addition of Vaccon’s vacuum technology to our distribution channel increases Bimba’s strategic value in our targeted industries, including packaging, automotive, factory automation, and material handling.”

Founded in 1972 by Dick Ferri with headquarters in Medway, Massachusetts, Vaccon will continue to operate from its present location under the current management led by Ellen Ferri.

“We are excited to be joining Bimba,” Ferri says. “With the help of Bimba’s channel partners and financial strength, Vaccon will be able to expands its offerings of products and technology.”

Vaccon products are noted for their straight-through, single-stage venturi design, which allows particles, dust, and other contaminants to pass through the pump without clogging or malfunction. Just as Bimba’s products make things move, Vaccon’s products pick things up in hundreds of applications from assembly to waste & spill clean-ups.
