Handtmann group of companies acquires inotec
The Handtmann Group of Companies with headquarters in Biberach is taking over the Inotec Group. Both companies signed a corresponding purchase agreement. The takeover is still subject to approval by the German Federal Cartel Office. Handtmann and Inotec benefit from better growth opportunities through close cooperation and can thus also open up new industries. There are no plans to change jobs in connection with the takeover.
Inotec expands the range of services offered by the Filling and Portioning Systems division
The Filling and Portioning Systems Division with Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co KG develops, produces and sells filling and portioning systems that are used, among other things, for the production of sausage products. And very successfully so: the company is currently represented worldwide by eleven sales offices and 60 sales partners. The plants are produced in Biberach. In 2019, the Handtmann Filling and Portioning Systems Division with 800 employees achieved a turnover of over 200 million euros. The company is the world market leader in its main target group, the meat processing industry. Handtmann Maschinenfabrik is also increasingly winning customers in other food industries, such as bakery products. Handtmann intends to build on this success in the future together with Inotec. Inotec is a leading manufacturer of innovative mixing and shredding technology as well as setting machines for food processing.
The Inotec Group employs around 270 people at four locations in Reutlingen, Herzebrock-Clarholz (North Rhine-Westphalia), Hluk (Czech Republic) and Saverne (France). In 2019, the group generated an annual turnover of over 30 million euros. In future, Inotec will belong to the Filling and Portioning Systems division at Handtmann, where it will continue in its current form. No change in the number of jobs is therefore planned in connection with the takeover. The current Inotec management will continue to manage the company operationally.
Customers demand turnkey production lines
