About Diversified Automation

• Headquartered in Louisville, KY, Diversified Automation has more than 140 engineers and project managers operating from six locations across the U.S. with annual sales of approximately $100 million
• The Company serves leading express parcel companies, prime contractors and integrators with end customers that include Amazon, Federal Express, FedEx Ground, and UPS

The acquisition greatly strengthens Leadec’s engineering and automation capabilities, provides an attractive entry into the high growth parcel sortation market, and adds substantial scale to Leadec’s operations in North America 

Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of the Leadec Group, said “Diversified Automation ideally completes our service portfolio with controls and software solutions for the parcel industry, a market segment thriving due to the growth of e-commerce. This also strengthens the technical profile of our U.S. operations”

Diversified Automation will benefit from Leadec’s automotive relationships and reputation in the U.S. while Diversified Automation is well established in the express parcel shipping industry, allowing Leadec to take advantage of e-commerce-driven growth in the USA and also perform projects to support UPS, FedEx, DHL and Amazon throughout Europe and surrounding territories, thereby opening up substantial markets and opportunities to grow the combined businesses

Tony Young, Founder and President of Diversified Automation, said “Together with Leadec, we now take the next step to accelerate growth for our customers and ourselves. I am excited about this new direction for our company, and for the great culture and values fit that we have with Leadec.”
