Dacke Industri acquired 85% of Divardy Bakery Services B.V., adding customised conveyor systems and aftermarket support for industrial bakeries to its Precision and Protection division.
Dacke Industri Divardy acquisition expands the Swedish industrial group into another specialist European engineering niche, adding Dutch bakery conveyor systems and aftermarket support to its Precision and Protection division.
Dacke Industri acquired 85% of Divardy Bakery Services B.V. on July 10, 2026. The Netherlands-based company specialises in customised conveyor systems and engineered solutions for the industrial bakery industry.
Divardy Bakery Services will become part of Dacke Industri’s Precision and Protection division. The acquisition gives the group another specialist manufacturer with technical engineering capability, international customers and a recurring aftermarket service base.
Dacke Industri Divardy Acquisition Adds Bakery Conveyor Systems
Divardy Bakery Services designs and supplies customised conveyor systems and engineered solutions for industrial bakeries.
The company also provides aftermarket services and spare parts to a large installed base of equipment. That installed-base support gives Divardy ongoing customer relationships beyond the original machinery sale.
Divardy Bakery Services is headquartered in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. The company employs about 40 people and has annual turnover of about EUR 9 million.
David Rijke, CEO and co-owner of Divardy Bakery Services B.V., says the company sees Dacke Industri as a long-term owner.
“We are happy to join Dacke Industri, a long-term owner that shares our values and vision for the future,” says Rijke. “This partnership provides a strong platform for continued growth while allowing Divardy Bakery Services to remain the innovative and customer-focused company it is today.”
Precision and Protection Division Expands in Europe
The Divardy acquisition gives Dacke Industri’s Precision and Protection division another niche industrial business with specialised engineering and international reach.
Kenneth Carlsson, President Precision and Protection at Dacke Industri and Chairman of Divardy Bakery Services B.V., says Divardy’s engineering expertise and market position make it a strong fit for the division.
“We are pleased to welcome Divardy Bakery Services to our group. Their engineering expertise and strong position within industrial bakery solutions make them an excellent fit for our Precision & Protection division,” says Carlsson.
“Together, we will strengthen our capabilities, expand our international presence and create new opportunities for long-term growth,” he says.
The deal also gives Carlsson another acquisition to integrate into the division after taking leadership of Dacke Industri’s Precision and Protection structure. The division sits within Dacke Industri’s wider four-division model, which groups specialist companies around technical capability, product focus and long-term development.
Dacke Industri Continues Specialist Acquisition Strategy
Dacke Industri is a long-term owner that invests in technology companies in selected industrial niches. The group follows a decentralised model, where subsidiaries keep a high degree of autonomy while receiving strategic guidance and development support.
That model has shaped Dacke Industri’s recent European acquisition activity across areas including mechatronics, hydraulics, precision grinding, composite materials, flow control and industrial systems.
The Divardy Bakery Services acquisition adds another example of that approach. The business operates in a highly specific industrial field, serves international customers, and combines engineered systems with aftermarket support and spare parts.
Dacke Industri is owned by Nordstjernan. Following the Divardy deal, the group says it has 35 subsidiaries across four divisions, about 2,000 employees worldwide, and net sales of SEK 5 billion.
The Dacke Industri Divardy acquisition adds Dutch industrial bakery systems and aftermarket capability to the group’s European specialist engineering portfolio.
