Both companies feel that this acquisition will enable them to grow and meet rising demands in the market more efficiently.
Scan-Vibro has been a longtime partner and supplier to GEA Process Engineering on several projects around the world. Last year, Scan-Vibro was a supplier to the world’s largest spray dryer installation completed by GEA Process Engineering in New Zealand.
“It’s a great pleasure for us to announce the acquisition of Scan-Vibro, which is a perfect partner for GEA Process Engineering and a company we have been working with for years,” said Niels-Erik Olsen, managing director of GEA Process Engineering operations in Soeborg. “The technology of Scan-Vibro fits well into our global offering and we look forward to developing Scan-Vibro further.”
“This is really a good day for Scan-Vibro,” said Steen Larsen, MD and former co-owner of Scan-Vibro. “By joining the GEA family, we can exploit the synergies of being part of a large, global organisation and thereby grow Scan-Vibro, which will be to the advantage for the company, our employees and our customers.”
The vibration technology of Scan-Vibro is the last technology in powder processing that now becomes a part of GEA’s scope of supply. GEA has been the leading supplier of complete processing lines, and the Scan-Vibro vibration technology will now complete the picture and strengthen GEA’s global leadership position within food drying systems.
In future, the company will operate under the brand name GEA Scan-Vibro.
