Omron to Buy Industrial PC Maker OnLogic for $675 Million
Omron agrees to acquire industrial PC maker OnLogic and parent Interlogic at a $675 million enterprise value, targeting a January 2027 close.
Darlings, a Japanese automation giant just went shopping in Vermont. Omron (6645) announced on October 13, 2026 that it will acquire US industrial PC maker OnLogic and its parent, Interlogic, for $675 million in enterprise value, about 104.6 billion yen at 155 yen to the dollar. Cash on hand covers most of it. The contract was signed October 10, Japan time, and closing is targeted for around January 2027, pending regulatory approvals.
The numbers on the target are tidy. According to Zaikei, the group posted $154.2 million in consolidated revenue and $22.6 million in EBITDA for the year ending December 2025. OnLogic generates more than 90 percent of its revenue from the Americas and Europe. Founded in 2003, it builds industrial computers to order for harsh environments, and it keeps its brand, direct sales model and current management as an independent unit. Omron expects only a minor impact on results for the year ending March 2027.
The context: North America is only about 10 percent of Omron's control equipment revenue, while Japan and China make up more than half, according to Newspim. Omron sold its electronic components business to Carlyle on October 1 and plans to put roughly 70 percent of total investment into control equipment and data solutions.
A note for the record: Nikkei Asia's first report cited $630 million, while the official figure is $675 million.
My take? Sell the old business, buy the one with the future, and pay from the piggy bank. A CEO with a plan, and I adore it.

The announcement gives no benchmark, product roadmap or measured benefit. What is measured is $22.6 million of EBITDA on $154.2 million of revenue.
OnLogic builds to order, sells direct and keeps its brand, so you can still buy the box from the same people. The announcement does not say what happens to the price per unit after January.
