USHIO and BLV Licht- und Vakuumtechnik GmbH Merge to USHIO Germany GmbH
Ushio Deutschland GmbH, a major European production and distribution base of Ushio Inc., has announced that it will merge with its sister company, BLV Licht- und Vakuumtechnik GmbH, to form a new company called Ushio Germany GmbH, on 1 February 2021.

• Ushio Europe B.V.
• Ushio France S.A.R.L.
• Ushio Poland Sp. z o.o
• Ushio U.K., LTD.
• Ushio Germany GmbH
The Ushio Europe group management would like to reiterate that its customers and partners, regardless of region, remain of the highest priority and the name change will not affect any existing or future orders, contracts, or framework contracts, etc. As part of the rebranding process, all invoicing, packaging, and related documentation will switch to the new Ushio Germany GmbH name and related data from 1 February 2021.
