CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., 1 April 2008. GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, a unit of GE Enterprise Solutions, and MTL Instruments Group plc, have signed an agreement for GE Fanuc to acquire the assets of the MTL Open Systems Technology (MOST) product lines including the MTL8000 general-purpose I/O, intrinsically safe I/O, SafetyNet system, and process control technologies.
MTL is headquartered in Luton, Bedfordshire, U.K.
The MTL8000 I/O and its technologies are deployed around the world by process system OEMs, system integrators, and end users to solve demanding process control applications. It is built to withstand the extremes of temperature and vibration as well as the hazardous and corrosive gases that rule out the use of conventional I/O in unfriendly environments.
The transaction is expected to close in the near future, subject to customary closing conditions.
