Halter Group B.V. joins the Gibas Group: accelerating industrial automation

Halter Group B.V. has become part of the Gibas Group, based in Nijkerk, the Netherlands. With this step, both organizations combine their complementary expertise in industrial automation. The aim is to accelerate product development and deliver integrated automation solutions to the international market.

Halter is known for its specialized CNC automation solutions and its international sales network. Gibas contributes extensive experience in CNC machines and tooling, with a strong focus on optimizing manufacturing processes. Combined with broad engineering capabilities and expertise in robotics and line integration, this results in a technological portfolio that supports customers from standalone CNC automation solutions through to fully integrated production lines.

According to Stefaan Poppe, CEO of the Gibas Group, the added value lies primarily in the combination of market access and development capability:
“The addition of Halter strengthens Gibas on multiple levels. We can further expand the Halter portfolio in our home markets of the Netherlands and Belgium, while Halter’s international network provides us with direct access to new markets. At the same time, our engineering capabilities enable us to develop new solutions more quickly and scale them across a broader market.”

For Halter, the move primarily brings scale and focus. Guido Leeflang, CEO of Halter Group, explains:
“By becoming part of Gibas, we can focus more strongly on our core business: serving our international customers and further expanding our portfolio. The additional engineering capacity and automation expertise within Gibas enable us to respond more rapidly to increasing complexity and evolving customer demands.”

Strengthening the operational structure will ensure continuity for existing customers and partners, while further integration and joint product development will be pursued at group level.
