Danish company Norbech AS has been acquired by new owners, and will revert to its former name of Uni-Food Technic AS.
Norbech was declared bankrupt in December last year. The company has for some years developed and produced machinery for various processes in the fishing industry. As Uni-Food Technic, the company is being taken on by two experienced business figures, who are entering the company with the clear purpose of strengthening and developing its position in the market.
Jeppe Christensen takes on the role of CEO and board member with a 51% ownership stake. With a background as group sales director at Carsoe for the past eight years, he brings in-depth experience to help realise Uni-Food Technic’s full potential.
‘We aim to create a well-functioning company by building on the competent employees, key products, and loyal customers that have been the core of Norbech for many years. Our approach is to establish a solid financial foundation for the company, so Uni- Food Technic can evolve to be even more relevant for our customers and a healthy workplace,’ Jeppe Christensen said.
Leif Andersen comes on board as a passive partner and board member with a 49% ownership stake. He was previously a partner in Uni-Food Technic for two and a half years, about 25 years ago. Since 1999, Leif has founded and led Intech International AS until 2022 when the company was sold to Carsoe.
Several employees and significant assets and activities have been transferred in connection with the sale.
‘We have experienced exceptionally high interest in the purchase of the bankrupt company’s assets and activities, confirming that the company had sound values and products that the buyer can build upon. Congratulations to the buyer on the deal,’ commented Jens Højmark, lawyer and partner at HjulmandKaptain.
