Wisconsin USA based MEGTEC Systems announced on 3 March 2009 that it has purchased the Intellectual Property of the former Ross Air Systems Inc., based in New Jersey. The company manufactured complete web process lines including industrial dryers and ovens, coaters, material handling equipment, air pollution control and heat recovery equipment.

Ross Air Systems originally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on 28 May 2008 and the case was later converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation filing on 15 December 2008. The company’s assets were then scheduled for auction based on a 31 December 2008 ruling from the US Bankruptcy court.

The purchase includes Ross Air Systems’ intellectual property only, and does not include the employees, inventories or in-process contracts, company’s physical property such as buildings or any liabilities whatsoever for any of their existing installed base (inclusive of any warranty obligations).
