DDD Group, based in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has taken over the business activities of the Italian company Sovatec s.r.l, expanding its wire and polyurethane screens capacity.
The new DDD subsidiary, headquartered in Stazzano (Piedmont), has been producing high-quality wire and polyurethane screens for various industries and applications, particularly for the separation of mining and quarrying products, since it was founded in 1973.
In addition to the significant increase in capacity in the production of wire screens, DDD Group is expecting to leverage synergies and expand its own product range through the integration of polyurethane screens.
The “Sovatec” name will be retained, as will the current 50 employees, all of whom will continue to be employed under the new management. Within the group, Sovatec will act as a “Center of Excellence” for heavy-duty screens in the future.
Paul Tüshaus, Managing Director of Dorstener Drahtwerke, sees the acquisition of Sovatec as an investment in the future of all the companies in the group: “With the subsidiaries MSD, CES, MDC and Sovatec, DDD Group is advancing to become one of the most important global suppliers for the screening industry. In the future, we will be able to supply our customers even faster and more comprehensively. At the same time, the expansion of our portfolio will make us more resistant and increase our technical expertise, which we want to bring to the market in the form of technical innovations.”
