Ann Arbor Technologies merges with Dynics

JULY 21--Ann Arbor Technologies Corporation (Ann Arbor, MI) and Dynics Inc., both manufacturers of industrial computer systems, have entered into an agreement to merge operations through the purchase of Ann Arbor Technologies' assets and liabilities by Dynics for an undisclosed sum. The company will keep the Dynics name with Ed Gatt, owner and president of Dynics, remaining as company president, while James Drenning and Rick Barnich, both principles and officers of Ann Arbor Technologies, will both serve on the corporate board and maintain executive positions at Dynics.

Dynics will support and promote the Ann Arbor Technologies and Dynics product lines through the combined existing distribution and representative channel of more than 50 firms. To accommodate the combined companies, operations will be moved to a new 15,000-sq ft office and manufacturing facility located in Ann Arbor, MI.

Dynics manufactures computer modules, flat-panel touch-screen monitors, integrated workstations, and rack-mount computers, and offers a single source for turnkey, embedded or standard, operating systems.
