Dall Energy, a Danish biomass energy and pyrolysis technology company, has completed the acquisition of French biomass technology-market leader Weiss France Energie and its branch Biomasse Services et Maintenance (BSM) from Groupe Roullier.
Together, they will deliver solutions that help drive the green-energy transition for the French district-heating and processing industries, said Dall Energy.
In recent years, the Danish biomass energy and pyrolysis technology-provider has experienced a surge in demand among French municipalities and businesses, resulting in growth for the company in France.
Dall made this acquisition in line with its strategy to become a leader in biomass process technology in France.
“We are thrilled 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,” said 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,” added Weiss managing director Frédéric Autret.
Both Dall Energy and Weiss specialise 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,” said 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,” added Thibault Vanpeene, investments director at Eiffel IG.
