Dutch headquartered equipment supplier Royal Duywis Wiener has acquired German firm Thouet Maschinenbau.
Dutch headquartered equipment supplier Royal Duywis Wiener has acquired German firm Thouet Maschinenbau. Thouet supplies conches, mixers, melters kneaders, pumps and cocoa powder pulverising plants to the chocolate and cocoa industry.
The latest addition comes two and half years after Duywis Wiener snapped up F.B. Lehmann.
Duywis Wiener said the acquisition would allow it to incorporate F.B. Lehmann’s expertise in refining with Thouet’s mixing and conching technologies.
Current Thouet managing director Rudolf Knops will remain in his role, but she sales, business and technology development will now be handled by Duywis Wiener.
