DSI Dantech buys GEA’s US freezing business

DENMARK: Food processing equipment company DSI Dantech has acquired GEA’s North American freezing business.

In a statement, DSI Dantech said that the acquisition strategically positioned itself to expand in the sector and to significantly enhance its offerings to major food markets globally.

Following the acquisition of GEA’s IP for new machines in North America, DSI Dantech will in future manage and deliver new orders and integrate the relevant GEA employees into its global team. 

DSI Dantech says that mechanical freezing technology has become a vital focus for the organization, supported by strong brands in the niche industries of plate and cryogenic freezing. 

DSI Dantech was formed in 2021 from the merger of four formerly family-owned organisations: Belgian Cryogenic Equipment and Services NV, one of the world’s largest independent suppliers of cryogenic freezing technology, Dantech Freezing Systems A/S, Freezertech a UK based plate freezing company and DSI Freezing Solutions A/S, the global market leader in plate freezing.
