Sales agreement between the French group Janbac Baudin and the American company LifeSentry group.
Starting first of February 2012, the French group will sell to French, Belgium, Switzerland and North Africa markets the machines ranges manufactured by LifeSentry group.
LifeSentry group is a company from USA, very well known for its machines for the flat glass market, to check on line the glass dimensions and optical quality after tempering or processing. The company manufactures mainly two machines ranges:
-The Falcon range allowing to check on line the glass dimensions and processed positions (holes..) with a 0.3 mm accuracy.
-The Osprey range focused on glass optical quality after tempering or laminating.
LifeSentry  group, on its side, will start to distribute the Bandin and Janbac machines ranges (straight line edging and mittering machines, belt machines, drilling machines, CNC drilling centers…) from its premises, located in Dundas (Minnesota), in the center of North America.
This agreement allows to Janbac and Baudin to strengthen their positions in North America where they have sold in the past a lot of glass processing machines and when the market start to grow again.
The two companies plan to train technicians to assure the machines installation and the after sale service.
