DiIT AG becomes a part of Schleuniger Group

Krailling, February 1, 2017 – DiIT AG has been a part of the Swiss Schleuniger Group since the beginning of the year. The market leader in the development and provision of software systems for wire processing and wiring harness production will be operating as a stand-alone company within Schleuniger Group. Bernd Jost will assume the position of Chairman of the Management Board of DiIT AG.

As of January 1, 2017, Swiss Schleuniger AG has acquired 100 percent of the shares in DiIT AG. Previously, Schleuniger had a minority stake in the company. DiIT will continue operating as a stand-alone company with headquarters in Krailling, Germany.

DiIT is a provider of integrated software systems for wire processing and wiring harness production, operating across the globe. The solutions generate all the necessary production data from electronic drawings and can control and optimize the entire production process, from cutting up to delivery. DiIT is the worldwide market leader in this sector – almost all the major manufacturers of wiring harnesses for the automotive industry rely on these systems.

Schleuniger AG, with headquarters in Thun, Switzerland, is a technology group operating globally and is a leading supplier in the wire processing industry. Schleuniger Group, in turn, represents the Wire Processing division of the publicly listed Metall Zug Group.

With the acquisition of its shares by Schleuniger AG, the company founder Dr. Gerhard Schaub has left the company. His successor as Chairman of the Management Board, Bernd Jost, has been a member of the Board since January 1, 2016.

“Even after the takeover by Schleuniger, we will design our systems openly and offer interfaces to machines of all known manufacturers”, explains Bernd Jost. “We will therefore continue to maintain and cultivate unchanged our tried-and-tested partnerships with different machine manufacturers. The global presence of Schleuniger makes it easier for us to grow very quickly internationally and provide support to our customers on site everywhere.”
