And Another One: Danfoss Adds Hydraulik Nord Fluidtechnik

Danfoss continues its almost dizzying array of acquisitions with the announcement that the Danish company has signed an agreement to acquire privately held Hydraulik Nord Fluidtechnik, supplier of hydraulic steering solutions in Parchim in Germany. The announcement said bringing Danfoss Power Solutions and Hydraulik Nord Fluidtechnik together was done to “create a strong global player in the hydraulic steering market” and will expand its product portfolio and increase manufacturing capacity.

The acquisition is subject to necessary approvals by relevant authorities and is expected to be fully completed during the first quarter 2019. As usual, the parties have not disclosed the purchase price or other conditions of the acquisition.
