PROBAT acquires Royal Duyvis Wiener and significantly strengthens the position in the cocoa and chocolate sector. Following the recent integration of AC Horn Manufacturing, we now announce the acquisition of Royal Duyvis Wiener, one of the world's leading manufacturers within the global cocoa, chocolate, and nuts & seeds processing industry. With the integration of Royal Duyvis Wiener, we strengthen our position in product and process innovation and expand our technological lead in the food processing sector. To exploit synergies and create integrated solutions for cross-segment projects, the technology transfer between the individual group members will now be significantly intensified. The aim is to further increase market share in the global cocoa and chocolate sector. The acquisition process has also been challenging in terms of time and content. We are grateful to have FAI as a partner who supported us with their expertise.

PROBAT accelerates strategic development with acquisition of AC Horn Manufacturing, a world-class producer of premium food processing equipment, based in Texas, USA. With this strategic investment we strengthen our competitive advantage through new technological capabilities and synergies to further penetrate the global food market. We are strategically focused on continuing to invest in our growing business and see the acquisition of AC Horn as a great opportunity to build on a complementary portfolio that will allow us to expand our product offering. By adding new resources and building larger and stronger teams of experts with a wide range of skills, we also underpin our mission to offer our customers individual and future-proof solutions. As a member of the PROBAT Group, AC Horn will be well positioned to deliver the value and quality that its customers have come to expect - and beyond.
