According to this press release two of the larger European furnace controls companies will be working together more closely in the future. This press release is quite vague and provides few if any details beyond the fact that "Stange" and "Demig" feel it necessary to work together more closely in the future. "The Monty" will provide more details as they become available.

"Stange Elektronik and Demig, two experts in the regulation and control of thermal processes, are joining forces.
The most important thing in advance: Nothing will change for you for the time being.
- All products remain available as usual
- Service and maintenance, installations and repairs continue to run reliably
- Same contact persons, same telephone numbers, same quality
So why the cooperation? Because we are convinced that the challenges of the future can be better mastered together.
We have intensively studied the wishes and needs of our customers and tailored our product developments accordingly.
This includes that we want to integrate more functions and that our products will meet the challenges posed by new legal requirements and standards.
These include the increasing demands on development and products due to the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which will come into force at the end of 2027.
What will result from this? A new, common ecosystem for thermal processes, from controllers to controllers to process control systems.
Perfectly coordinated, it combines the strengths of both worlds and at the same time meets the new regulatory requirements."
