Miller Johnson Represents AB Dynamics PLC in Its Acquisition of eMpulse Test Systems

The Transaction

Miller Johnson served as counsel to AB Dynamics PLC, a global provider of automotive test and verification solutions, in its acquisition of eMpulse Test Systems (eMpulse), a US-based automotive testing specialist.

The acquisition expands AB Dynamics’ laboratory testing portfolio with eMpulse’s highly complementary technology and products, creating a broader offering for customers. The combined portfolio strengthens AB Dynamics’ position in servoelectric testing technologies, which deliver significant performance and energy efficiency advantages over traditional hydraulic alternatives. Together, eMpulse’s proven product range and AB Dynamics’ global sales and support network create compelling opportunities to expand the reach of eMpulse’s technologies, deepen engagement with existing customers, and provide access to a broader range of testing solutions through a single trusted partner.
