Carsoe is selling its plate freezer business, Freezertech, to focus on its core business of developing, manufacturing, distributing and servicing onboard seafood processing systems.
The company has sold the UK-based business to DSI Dantech, in a move the latter says will help it establish a presence in the key British market.
“We are globally recognised as leaders in processing equipment for seafood onboard,” explained chief executive Hugo Dissing.
“The sale of Freezertech reflects our strategic decision to concentrate on our core competencies.
“We will continue to develop and manufacture all automated freezing technology at Carsoe as we have done so far.”
As a supplier of freezer products and integrated freezing solutions for the food industry, DSI Dantech says it has strengthened its position in the plate freezer segment with this acquisition.
The takeover not only expands the product portfolio but also enhances DSI Dantech’s presence in the UK, says chief executive Søren Overgaard.
“With the acquisition, there are opportunities for synergies between Freezertech and DSI Dantech that will enhance our competitiveness in the market and improve our level of service to our customers in the British market,” he said.
The sale of Freezertech also signifies a closer collaboration between DSI Dantech and Carsoe with both companies’ leaderships anticipating that the sale will lead to the development of new joint solutions.
Kyle Bennett will continue unchanged as the director of Freezertech Ltd.
