Evac Group (Evac), a Finnish leading global provider of environmentally friendly water, waste and wastewater collection and treatment equipment and solutions for the marine, building and offshore industries, says it has acquired Deerberg-Systems GmbH in Germany.
Deerberg, based in Oldenburg, Germany, is the global market leader in marine environmental protection systems for the treatment of dry and wet waste (DW) on board all kinds of vessels. The Deerberg Multi-Purpose-Waste-Management-System MPWMS® is renowned in the marine industry to be the leading solution in this field. With this acquisition Evac is now able to offer a total, flexible multipurpose waste management system from one source.
According to industry estimates, the DW treatment market will continue to grow in the coming years. These estimates are based on strong demand coming from the cruise vessel and ferry segments. The acquisition of Deerberg will elevate Evac to be the leading player for total waste management systems in the cruise ship segment.
Tomi Gardemeister, CEO of Evac Group Oy, says; “The fit with the excellent DW solution lines of Deerberg is perfect. This acquisition will strengthen our role as a solutions provider for the cruise business sector, because the requirements of waste logistics needs and DW treatment are growing within the sector.”
“ This move will further enhance our total waste management solutions offering to our main customers, both in recycling and recovery, as well as in energy efficient thermal treatment,” he said in a statement.
