Dussmann expands on market position in cooling, refrigeration and air conditioning technology by acquiring Clausen Systemkühlung

Dussmann, an international service firm in the integrated facility management, food services, and technical solutions segment, has acquired Clausen Systemkühlung GmbH as of the start of February.

Clausen Systemkühlung, a family company based in Börnsen, near Hamburg, offers a full range of services in the area of air conditioning, cooling, refrigeration, and building automation and control systems. This includes building, renovating, modifying, servicing, and maintaining commercial and private cooling, refrigeration, and air conditioning systems, ventilation and heat recovery systems, and the control technology used to operate them. Most of the company’s customer base is centered on the grocery trade.

Clausen Systemkühlung’s 40 employees, most of whom work in cooling and refrigeration systems technology and electrical engineering, are to transfer to Dussmann. They will be incorporated into the Dussmann Technical Solutions division. The executive management of Clausen Systemkühlung, Stefan and Chris Clausen, will also remain on board. Chris Schumann of Dussmann Technical Solutions will work with them going forward. The parties agreed to keep the purchase price confidential.

Stephan Possekel, Managing Director of Dussmann Technical Solutions, says: “Acquiring this regional leader in this field marks an excellent addition to our position in cooling, refrigeration, and air conditioning technology. We are strengthening our market position in the north of Germany and bolstering our ties with local customers.”

Stefan Clausen, Managing Director of Clausen Systemkühlung GmbH, says: “In Dussmann, we have found a partner that has a strategic interest in cooling, refrigeration, and air conditioning technology and offers long-term continuity and development prospects for our team.”

The acquisition of Clausen Systemkühlung GmbH is another step in the expansion of Dussmann Technical Solutions, which is part of the company’s next-level strategy. There are plans to acquire additional firms and stakes in other enterprises.
