Exclusive Financial Advisor to Isochronic during its successful acquisition by Bystronic
On 27. August 2026, Isochronic and Bystronic announced a transaction. The two companies have entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Isochronic AG. The Swiss automation company specialises in high-speed robotic systems and software for sheet metal processing. The acquisition expands Bystronic’s automation portfolio and reinforces its strategic focus on integrated manufacturing solutions that meet increasing customer requirements for productivity, flexibility and efficiency. Isochronic will continue to operate in the market under its own name.
Armin Haller, CEO of Isochronic: “We are very much looking forward to this next step together with Bystronic. Our teams share the same passion for innovation and customer success. Together, we will continue to develop our technology, accelerate innovation, and make our automation solutions available to an even broader customer base. IFBC served as our expert M&A Advisor and worked with us as a partner throughout the successful sale of our company.”
Isochronic’s technology enhances Bystronic’s capabilities in automated sorting across a broad range of sheet metal formats, including large and heavy parts. It also adds modern software architectures and robotics expertise to the portfolio. Bystronic’s industrial expertise and global presence will support the further development and broader adoption of Isochronic’s technology. The combination of the two companies will accelerate the development of the next generation of automation solutions and further strengthen Bystronic’s offering for customers with highly automated production environments.
