Premier Pneumatics brand to be used for K-Tron's conveying lines

Following K-Tron Process Group’s purchase of Premier Pneumatics, the company is to use the Premier Pneumatics brand for all its pneumatic conveying lines. This will include its vacuum conveying systems and Colormax line of conveying and auxiliary equipment.

K-Tron’s vacuum conveying systems are currently marketed as K-Tron Pneumatic Conveying Systems (PCS). The systems are manufactured by K-Tron’s PCS business based in Stockport, UK, formed by the acquisition of PCS Limited in 2001. Colormax has been a member of the K-Tron group of companies since 2000. Its manufacturing facilities are based in Telford, UK.

Other Premier Pneumatics products will be introduced to the European market towards the end of 2007, subject to an engineering review to ensure that all European standards are met.
