[font=times]收購將增加阿美德格公司對高端元素的分析能力 賓夕法尼亞州Paoli（2007年8月14日）消息，阿美德格（紐約證交所交易號：AME）宣布其收購CAMECA SAS——高端元素分析系統(tǒng)，用于先進的分析、半導體和納米技術應用。CAMECA總部位于法國巴黎，年收銷售額約6000萬歐元，被Carlyle集團領導的投資集團所購買，價值約820億歐元合1.12億美元。 阿美德格主席廉首席執(zhí)行官Frank S. Hermance說：“收購CAMECA是一個很明智的舉措，對于擴展我們的技術能力意義深遠。其全球客戶包括許多世界領先的半導體生產(chǎn)商、學術專家、政府和從事其它材料科學研究的工業(yè)生產(chǎn)廠商?！? Hermance 又補充說到，“CAMECA在他所涉及的市場中都占據(jù)領導地位。他們的產(chǎn)品包括二次離子質譜入門（SIMS）、低能耗X射線發(fā)射光譜測定法（LEXES），TAP和電子探針微量分析儀器。” 他又解釋說：“CAMECA的加入可以補充我們的SPECTRO和EDAX業(yè)務產(chǎn)品。這些業(yè)務涉及很廣泛的技術，包括用于微量分析測量解決方案的光譜儀和X射線熒光光譜儀技術，用于金屬、環(huán)境、分析研究、石化產(chǎn)品、藥品、電子和法庭科學市場?！? 阿美德格是電子儀器的全球領導制造商，2006的其電子機械設備銷售額18億美元。阿美德格的合作成長計以五個關鍵性戰(zhàn)略為基礎：優(yōu)越的操作性、戰(zhàn)略收購和聯(lián)盟、全球市場擴張和新產(chǎn)品。阿美德格的目標就是在業(yè)務循環(huán)之上每股收入實現(xiàn)兩位數(shù)增長，總資產(chǎn)達到較高回報。阿美德格的普通股是S&PMidCap 400指數(shù)和Russell 1000指數(shù)的組成部分。[/font] [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times] AMETEK Acquires CAMECA SAS [/font] [font=times][Color=#708090]Acquisition Adds to AMETEK’s High-End Elemental Analysis Capabilities Paoli, Pa., August 14, 2007 —— AMETEK, Inc. （NYSE:AME） announced that it has acquired CAMECA SAS, a manufacturer of high-end elemental analysis systems used in advanced laboratory research, semiconductor and nanotechnology applications.
