The move was made to simplify the organisation and Mikron shareholders have approved all proposals by the board of director. Mikron Holding AG, Biel, remains a separate entity.
From the merger of its four Swiss subsidiaries Mikron expects a one-time positive tax effect for the financial year 2021 in the vicinity of CHF 5 million (£3.9m) by utilising and capitalising tax loss carry forwards.

The Mikron Group develops, produces and markets highly precise, productive and adaptable automation solutions, machining systems and cutting tools.
