Mikron presents new generation of machines and acquires own shares

Bienne, September 27, 2018, 6.15 p.m. - The Mikron Group presented its new Mikron 6x6 generation of machines (formerly the Phoenix project) for the first time to a wide audience of specialists at the International Exhibition for Metal Working (AMB) in Stuttgart. Mikron is convinced that this new, modular range will strengthen its market position and is pleased at the large amount of positive feedback.

Mikron Holding AG will also take advantage of the opportunity to acquire 400'000 (representing 2,39% of the registered share capital) of its own shares from VERAISON SICAV. As a consequence, VERAISON SICAV will fall below the threshold of 10% of the voting rights.
