Dürr has expanded its range in paint application technology through two new acquisitions. At the end of June, the Group took over the German company Bersch & Fratscher GmbH (Befrag) from Karlstein/Main, as well as the Czech company EST+ a.s. from Ledeč nad Sázavou near Prague. The two companies generate sales revenues totalling almost €10M (2013). Befrag employs 70 staff, while EST+ has a workforce of 60.
The two companies offer automated application systems, spray guns for manual paint application, as well as smaller paint and drying systems. Ralf W Dieter, CEO of Dürr AG said: "We will systematically expand the activities of the two companies under the umbrella of the Dürr Group. The new Czech site provides a good basis for the expansion of our business in Eastern Europe, and with Befrag we have gained another efficient site.”
