Here you can read the latest update from our CEO

Despite current weak market regarding order intake, we’re optimistic about medium-to-the-long-term development. There are opportunities within Dacke Industri, and our acquisition activity remains strong. The impression from our customers is that there is a wait and see attitude that still lingers.

We’re seeing a mixed market across our segments with a generally low order intake. It is somewhat strange since the signals and discussions are more on the upside. We have recently heard about some segments becoming more active, notably agriculture and construction. Mining remains strong and active. The general industry appears to be more flat or steady. Material handling is stable, but growth is limited.

This summer, we closed two acquisitions, expanding our presence in Europe.

We acquired 80% of the shares in BTL-UK Ltd, a leading European manufacturer and global distributor of ball and roller bearings, mechanical power transmission components, and motion transfer linkages. The acquisition was completed on July 3rd, 2025. It is headquartered in Ashford Kent, United Kingdom, with facilities in Ashford Kent and additional in Burgess Hill, United Kingdom. With about a total of 64 employees and an annual turnover of about £11 million.

Our second acquisition was 80% of the shares in Blink S.r.l. A renowned expert and manufacturer of CANbus keypads. The acquisition was completed on July 21st, 2025. They are headquartered in Milan, Italy, it also operates a sales office in the United States and co-ownership in a sales office in Australia. With a total of about 22 employees and an annual turnover of about EUR 9 million.

I am glad to welcome both companies to the Dacke Industri group! Looking ahead, we expect an active period on the acquisition front, supported by a robust pipeline. However, we would also like to see improved market conditions.
