GF Machining Solutions, a division of GF, Schaffhausen (Switzerland), is acquiring one hundred per cent of Italy-based Vam Controls Srl, to strengthen its milling and automation capabilities in Europe.
The acquisition, which closed on 15th July 2022, marks a further important step to implement GF Machining Solutions’ Strategy 2025 to strengthen its customer experience and service offerings. Vam Controls, founded in 1997 in Onore (Italy), is a service company for machine tools with 30 employees. It reported sales of €4 million in 2021.
Customer service has steadily expanded in recent years and is now one of the strategic segments for GF Machining Solutions’ future growth.

The acquisition will enable GF Machining Solutions to develop additional services for the European market, such as machine refurbishments and the rebuilding of key components and devices.
