FRANCE/GERMANY: SPIE, the French provider of multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications, has acquired Dutch companies Voets & Donkers Koeltechniek BV and its subsidiary VND Technical Services BV.
Founded in 1963, Voets & Donkers employs 69 permanent employees across two locations in Schijndel and Drachten. This specialist in the development, production and installation of cooling and air treatment systems generated a turnover of €30m in 2024. Its clients span various sectors, including dairy and food processing, horticulture, the pharmaceutical industry, warehousing and high-tech machinery.
According to SPIE, the acquisition further strengthens its expertise in industrial cooling installations, air treatment systems, heat pumps, industrial automation, and the engineering of process equipment.
The food and pharma sector is seen as a particularly interesting growth market for SPIE, and the company aims to expand its presence in this field.
“This acquisition also enables us to increase our visibility in refrigeration, freezing technology, industrial heat pumps and HVAC”, said Joti Hakkert, director of SPIE’s industry services division. “It opens up new opportunities to expand our capacity in line with the projects we already carry out in industrial HVAC.”
SPIE is a €9.9bn turnover business with 55,000 employees.
