Duravant LLC, a global provider of technical equipment and automation solutions for the food processing, packaging and materials handling industries, has acquired Votech GS BV, a manufacturer of bagging machines, palletizing machines, stretch hood machines and pallet transport systems with headquarters in Reusel, the Netherlands. Votech will partner with Fischbein International, an operating company of Duravant, to serve their global customer base.

“There is an extremely complementary relationship between our two organizations,” said Olivier Hancotte, VP and general manager at Fischbein. “We look forward to working closely with the Votech team to create a broader product offering for customers of both companies. Both Fischbein and Votech devices will be available through Fischbein’s global sales team.”

“Our partnership with Duravant opens the way for Votech to expand geographically and grow in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and North America,” added Pierre Dierckx, Votech, director of operations. “We’re also looking forward to working with nVenia, the US-based operating company of Duravant, which serves customers from a wide variety of industrial end markets and consumer goods.” Secondary and final packaging.
