The global provider of integrated logistics solutions including supply chain software, Swisslog, has purchased Accalon. The Swedish company manufactures conveyors and storage/retrieval machines for automated storage systems. The move returns Swisslog to the list of materials handling equipment manufacturers, which it exited in recent years. In fact, Accalon was a part of Swisslog from 1994 to 2000 when a management buyout was executed.
