Danish processing systems specialist Carsoe is divesting itself of its UK-based plate freezer company, Freezertech, with a sale to another Danish company.
Freezertech, which specialises in producing and selling manual plate freezing systems for the land-based food industry, is being acquired by DSI, one of the leaders in this sector which is keen to expand its presence on the UK market.
Kyle Bennett will remain in his role as director of Freezertech Ltd.
With this sale, Carsoe is seeking to strengthen its focus on its core business of developing, manufacturing, distributing, and servicing equipment and complete processing systems for handling, processing, freezing, and packaging seafood onboard fishing vessels.
‘We are globally recognised as leaders in processing equipment for seafood onboard. The sale of Freezertech reflects our strategic decision to concentrate on our core competencies,’ said Carsoe CEO Hugo Dissing.
‘Automated freezing solutions remain a key technology in our plants as it ensures a high-quality product with high energy efficiency and a better working environment for the staff on board. We will continue to develop and manufacture all automated freezing technology at Carsoe as we have done so far. We have a strong team of engineers who work closely with our customers to develop and refine our solutions.’
As a supplier of freezer products and integrated freezing systems for the food industry, DSI Dantech strengthens its position in the plate freezer segment with the acquisition of Freezertech. The acquisition both expands its product portfolio and also enhances DSI Dantech’s presence in the critical British market.
‘DSI Dantech has substantial expertise in freezing solutions, including plate freezers, and we are the ideal owners for Freezertech, as we can provide the necessary attention and organizational support for developing freezing solutions for the land-based food industry,’ commented DSI’s CEO Søren Overgaard.
‘With this 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.’
