Complementary technologies and strong synergies
The Danish biomass energy and pyrolysis technology-provider has in recent years experienced an emergence in demand among French municipalities and businesses, resulting in growth for the company in France.
Dall Energy aspires to become a leader in biomass process-technology in France. So, to fortify this market leader-strategy, Dall is pleased to announce the effective acquisition of Weiss France Énergie (Weiss), and Biomass Service and Maintenance (BSM) from Groupe Roullier.
“We are excited about this acquisition. Weiss is a local, leading energy-technology provider, and our technologies complement each other. Together, we will deliver even better solutions to the country's district heating-companies and processing industry,” says Dall Energy CEO, Jens Bentzen.
“We are proud to be able to combine our skills with those of Dall Energy and allow our customers to have a complete technological offer for bioenergy recovery. Our teams will be keen to provide the new group with the sense of service and professionalism that characterizes both Weiss and BSM”, adds Weiss Managing Director, Frédéric Autret.
Mission: Mitigate climate change, improve energy efficiency and replace fossil fuels
Both Dall Energy and Weiss specialize in developing biomass technologies, offering solutions, and servicing plants directly or through partnerships. This extends to dry biomass sources, low-cost wet biomass, and feedstock with high levels of contaminants.
Going forward, Dall Energy and Weiss will work in unison – together with main investor Eiffel IG – to help mitigate climate change by replacing fossil fuels and improving energy efficiency. Initially in France, but likely soon across the entire EU, where the Green Energy Transition is in a key phase.
“France remains a primary market for us, and Weiss' vast network and partners will help us build even closer relationships there. First, as separate entities. We have planned Post Merger Integration (PMI) process this fall, so we can harvest synergies as soon as possible.”, says Jens Bentzen.
“Our mission is to drive the green energy-transition with investments in sustainable tech-solutions, so we are thrilled to be part in Dall Energy and Weiss joining forces to deliver such solutions to the world. Also, this is likely just the first acquisition aimed at enhancing Dall Energy's reach. And we believe, in time, this will become a European venture”, adds Thibault Vanpeene, Investments Director at Eiffel IG.
