On the sale of the Manufacturing Solutions division, Roland Thomas, Moldflow's President and CEO, said "We are pleased to announce the agreement between Husky and Moldflow. When we announced that the company was holding the Manufacturing Solutions division for sale, it was our intention to find a buyer with a suitable infrastructure to sell and support our Manufacturing Solutions products globally. Both Moldflow and Husky share a common belief regarding the importance of providing products and services that link the product design and manufacturing processes. We believe that Husky is the right company to provide products that fit that common vision, as well as provide the high level of service and support that Moldflow's customers have come to expect."
"This acquisition brings to Husky an experienced team, a wealth of technology expertise and a highly complementary set of innovative products. As a result, we will offer our customers greater value and continue growing this strategic area of our business," said Keith Carlton, Husky's Vice President of Hot Runners and Molds.
Under the agreement, Husky will acquire substantially all of the assets of the Manufacturing Solutions division, including the Altanium(R), Shotscope(R) and Celltrack(TM) product lines. The Moldflow Plastics Xpert(R) (MPX(R)) software product will be retained by Moldflow.
