Following the full integration of its three parts into a single structure, Siemens Dematic's three operations in the U.S. now go by a single name - Siemens Logistics and Assembly Systems Inc. (Siemens L&A).

The new structure consolidates three operating units: Siemens Dematic of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Siemens Dematic Postal Automation of Arlington, Texas; and Siemens Dematic Electronic Assembly Systems of Norcross, Ga. Headquarters of the company is Grand Rapids.

"By merging these companies, we can more effectively leverage our strength as a global market leader to achieve greater economies of scale and innovation to improve our offerings to our customers," says Johann Loettner, president of the Logistics and Assembly Systems Group of Siemens AG.
