In recent years, Svanehoj has expanded its position as a supplier of marine pumps, tank control systems and related service solutions.
The acquisition of KOHO Kompressorsysteme represents the next strategical step for Svanehoj in the gas segment as the global gas tanker market continues to grow.
KOHO employs approximately 40 people in Hagen, Germany, and specializes in the design and manufacture of customer-specific reciprocating compressor systems for hydrogen, hydrocarbons, and other demanding gas applications. Their product range also includes gastight bulkhead shaft penetrations for industrial facilities and shipbuilding.
“This is a logical expansion for Svanehoj in the gas tanker segment, where we have delivered cargo pump systems and integrated services to LPG- and LNG carriers for many years. By acquiring KOHO, we can now include high-quality compressors and related spare parts in offerings to our customers. KOHO adds specialist know-how and an attractive product portfolio.
“When combined with Svanehoj’s and ITT’s strengths in supply chain and sales, we believe we can unlock new opportunities that will strengthen and expand the company in the future,” said Søren Kringelholt Nielsen, CEO of Svanehoj.
