Founded in 2006, the company has conveyor modules and components in operation at more than 65 airports worldwide and has provided conveying solutions to ecommerce, parcel and distribution giants around the globe.

With locations and joint ventures in Austria, Singapore, and China, Motion06 expands Duravant’s footprint in Europe and Asia.

Our team is extremely excited about the immediate accelerated growth opportunities this new relationship provides.”

"It is a great pleasure, together with a young and dynamic team here in Lengau and with partners worldwide, to develop Motion06 into a leading quality supplier of conveyor systems. The acquisition by Duravant will result in excellent synergies and further growth opportunities as a conveyor module and component manufacturer," says Markus Brunninger, Managing Director of Motion06. "We are characterized by a high level of technical competence and a focus on customers and customer requirements, which we solve best on a daily basis.”

The transaction brings together two global engineered equipment leaders with complementary products, applications and connectivity solutions.
