Harald Kurz, Managing Director of MOOG GmbH, explains:
“The transaction is an example of MOOG’s Group-level initiative to consolidate the operational structure of Moog. The aim is to optimize operations, improve internal processes and focus more on existing core areas. The sale of MOOG Luxembourg is a milestone in the implementation of this strategy.”

Jost Braukmann, Chairman of the Advisory Board of AXXERON Technologies GmbH, comments:
“Moog Luxembourg complements our group of companies in the ‘MOTION’ division and will continue to operate as an independent company under the name AXXERON Hydrolux. The ultra-modern production site in Luxembourg significantly expands AXXERON’s production capacities. Modern machines and systems enable us to manufacture (servo) cartridge valves, hydraulic control blocks and complex hydraulic systems to the highest quality standards, thereby meeting increasing quality requirements and boosting our competitiveness on the international markets.

As a global quality leader for (servo) cartridge valves and hydraulic control blocks, MOOG Luxembourg is an excellent addition, which is characterized in particular by the high cross-selling potential within the AXXERON Group. We are very pleased about the future cooperation.” BLOK Management would like to thank all parties involved for their trust and is pleased to have once again demonstrated its expertise in the successful execution of competitive sales processes.
