Smart power demand Magnetek operates in digital power and motion control systems for material handling, people-moving, and mining—areas increasingly embracing smart power. This suggests a sales opportunity by offering advanced, integrated power control solutions to emerging automation and through-plant modernization initiatives.

Wireless control draw CMCO recently launched Magnetek Flex Pro 2 Radio Remote Controls, signaling demand for reliable wireless control in real-world environments. Target customers deploying automated material handling or fleet operations may be receptive to upgraded remote control and connectivity features.

Growth momentum CMCO reported revenue growth and orders up year over year, indicating strong demand in automation and motion solutions. This climate supports cross-sell of Magnetek’s digital power controls to existing CMCO customers plus expansion into adjacent markets like mining and people-moving sectors.

Strategic divestment signals CMCO announced asset sales of its U.S. power chain hoist and chain business, suggesting strategic realignment and focus on core automation offerings. This could open opportunities to position Magnetek as a preferred supplier for retained power and motion control needs or to pursue channel partnerships with CMCO’s surviving segments.
