The jewel from Bologna, world leader in the supply of high-precision measurement and control instruments, has recently acquired control of Blulink, a software house in Reggio Emilia, specialized in the management of processes related to quality and occupational safety. Blulink is a small reality, but, in turn, is a spearhead in its field, with a turnover of 4 million and 28 years of activity behind it, with a constantly growing trend. The purchase confirms the will of the Bolognese to enter the era of industry 4.0 as protagonists, developing wide-ranging digital strategies.
“The acquisition of quality companies with products complementary to the more traditional ones of our group – says the patron Stefano Possati – aims to further enhance the range of solutions we offer and to allow us to enter new market sectors. This strategy is one of the main keys to the growth of the group in recent years, with investments in research and development and the strengthening of the assistance and sales structures".
