Herrenberg, October 27, 2009 (HMS) – HMS Höllmüller will operate under the name of “RENA Höllmüller GmbH” in future. HMS systems will continue to be sold under the brand name “Höllmüller”. The production and sales of Höllmüller range of products will be undertaken by RENA Höllmüller GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of RENA GmbH. The global sales partners for Höllmüller systems, as well as the company’s contact persons will remain unchanged. RENA Höllmüller GmbH will be introduced to the public for the first time at the trade fair “Productronica” that will take place from 10-13 November 2009 in Munich.

Through this change of name, we now wish to communicate the successful integration of Höllmüller Maschinenbau GmbH with RENA GmbH. Höllmüller, a brand name known for quality and reliability in horizontal wet process equipment for the Printed Circuit Board, Flat Panel Display, and Chemical Machining industries will continue to be sold under this brand name. “The integration of HMS with RENA allows us to capitalize on the respective strengths of both companies, creating new synergies, while continuing to support our customers with the quality and service that they expect.” stated Jürgen Gutekunst, Managing Director of RENA Höllmüller GmbH.

For customers of HMS Höllmüller, except for the change in the name of the company, there will be no changes in contact with the company, continues Gutekunst. Specifically, the well-known and experienced contact people for the various sales, service and engineering functions have been retained.

Höllmüller companies have been wholly-owned subsidiaries of RENA GmbH since June 2007. Both groups of companies have created synergies in the areas of technology, sales and service, but have operated under their own names.
