DEUTZ has acquired FRERK Aggregatebau GmbH for an undisclosed amount, completing a corporate acquisition that expands DEUTZ’s footprint in decentralized power generation. FRERK specializes in designing, manufacturing, and servicing individual power supply solutions for a wide range of global industries and challenging environments, from permafrost industrial sites to offshore oil production facilities and data centers.
FRERK Aggregatebau GmbH provides custom-engineered decentralized power solutions, which include containerized or building-installed low and medium voltage generating sets. These systems operate with various fuels such as gas, diesel, HFO, or dual fuel, delivering single engine outputs up to 10 MW. The company also holds expertise in Hybrid Systems and Combined Heat & Power Units (CHP), with over six decades of experience in plant and aggregate construction, emphasizing reliability and efficiency in critical infrastructure applications.
This acquisition is strategically significant for DEUTZ, a well-established engine manufacturer, as it integrates FRERK’s comprehensive power generation capabilities directly into its portfolio. The move allows DEUTZ to transition from solely supplying engines to offering complete, bespoke power generation systems, including project engineering, manufacturing, and extensive after-sales service. This vertical integration is expected to create synergies by providing customers with single-source solutions for complex energy requirements and expanding DEUTZ's market reach into the high-growth decentralized energy sector.
The combination of DEUTZ’s engine technology with FRERK’s specialized aggregate construction and project management expertise is anticipated to strengthen their collective market position. The combined entity is poised to deliver a broader array of customized, high-performance power solutions, enhancing service capabilities and driving innovation in critical decentralized energy supply systems.
