Tetra Pak snaps up Danish dairy membrane filtration company

Multinational food packaging and processing giant Tetra Pak has acquired DSS Silkeborg, a Danish dairy membrane filtration company.

DSS Silkeborg, which is a privately held company specialising in designing, developing and commissioning membrane filtration systems for dairy applications, will become an integral part of Tetra Pak’s processing division.

“Becoming an integral part of Tetra Pak, a large multinational company focused on the dairy sector, offers DSS an opportunity for a new phase of growth in the global dairy industry,” says Niels Osterlan, co-founder and managing director of DSS.

Tim High, Executive Vice President Processing Systems, Tetra Pak, said that the acquisition will enable Tetra Pak to provide customers with a wide range of processing solutions with minimal environmental impact.

“The acquisition of DSS adds to Tetra Pak’s expertise in membrane filtration technology, enabling us to provide our customers with an even wider range of processing solutions for dairy, cheese and whey as well as other beverages and prepared foods,” said High.

 “The integration of DSS’s expertise with Tetra Pak’s energy, waste and water reduction technologies will provide our customers with processing solutions designed to reduce their carbon and water footprint as well as their operational costs.”

As part of the deal, DSS will remain in Denmark under its current management team as part of Tetra Pak’s Cheese and Powder business unit, and all existing sales channels will be supplemented through Tetra Pak’ global market operations.
