Quatech now B+B SmartWorx

On Oct 13, 2011, B&B Electronics Manufacturing Company, Inc. proudly announced its acquisition of Quatech, a global leader in Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB and serial device networking and connectivity solutions for industrial environments. The two companies, with their combined product offerings, will offer expanded product solutions and distribution channels, as well as continued excellent customer service and support. After three decades of growth and 3 million M2M connections success stories in over 60 different countries, B&B has acquired a global reputation as a manufacturer of resilient, reliable data connectivity hardware products. The emerging Industrial Internet of Things has transformed data networking, and B&B has responded to the need — and the opportunity — to transform as a company. A critical part of that transformation was the alignment of B&B’s advanced IoT processing architecture with an ecosystem of partners who have developed some of the most innovative data networking applications and services that have appeared to date. The development of these “intelligence at the network edge” technologies led the company to a new position in the Internet of Things industry and drove the decision to change its name to B+B SmartWorx.
