DSI Dantech acquires GEA’s North American freezing business

DSI Dantech has acquired GEA’s North American Freezing Business, constituting a significant milestone in becoming GEA’s North American partner for both new freezer sales and aftermarket services.

GEA has chosen DSI Dantech as a partner based on its commitment to quality, technological excellence, and customer service. Following the acquisition of GEA’s IP for new machines in North America, DSI Dantech will going forward manage and deliver new orders and integrate the relevant GEA employees into its global team.

Furthermore, the acquisition significantly advances DSI Dantech’s vision of establishing itself as a global niche leader in thermal treatment technology for the food processing industry. Under Procuritas’ ownership, DSI Dantech’s revenue base has increased more than fivefold through both organic and acquisitive growth and the company is strategically positioned to continue capturing additional market share in the future.

DSI Dantech CEO Søren Overgaard stated, ‘This acquisition represents a pivotal moment for DSI Dantech. By bringing together exceptional talent and advanced technology, we’re positioning ourselves to lead the future of mechanical freezing solutions. We see immense potential in this collaboration, which will allow us to push the boundaries of innovation and deliver unparalleled value to our global customers.’

Procuritas Partner Oskar Lindholm-Wu stated, “As majority owners, we are thrilled about the opportunities stemming from the acquisition of GEA’s North American freezer business. This partnership highlights the strong market position that DSI Dantech has built within the global freezing solutions sector over the years.
