DutchTecSource, also known as DTS, from Beusichem, is joining Sticomax. Like DTS, Sticomax is a strong player in the production of processing machines in the food industry. In recent years, Sticomax from West-Vlaanderen has been very active in acquiring various industry peers, thereby developing a leading position in the consolidating sector.
With this transaction, Nordian is selling its majority stake in DTS. DTS will continue to operate under its own brand and management within the new group. Over the past few years, DTS has been strengthened across the board in partnership with Nordian. Investments have been made and significant improvements have been implemented, particularly in the areas of R&D, sales, and finance.
DTS, a globally renowned company in the food industry, has been designing and building machines, transport systems, and complete processing lines for the potato, vegetable, fruit, and mushroom processing industries for over 30 years. DTS has built a strong reputation, especially for its expertise in screw technology, which is also applied in thermal processes.
With this acquisition, Sticomax significantly enhances its overall offering and market position. Over the years, DTS has proven itself to be a reliable and innovative partner for many food producers. The advanced technologies and products, particularly in the areas of screw transport systems, blanchers, and mushroom processing, complement Sticomax’s existing solutions perfectly. With this next strategic step, DTS can continue its path of international organic growth.
