The collaboration positions us as a premium partner for demanding industries and enables a holistic range of solutions in machine tool manufacturing that supports customers in all areas."

Drivers of Industrial Change

The manufacturing sector is currently experiencing a renaissance through the re-shoring of production capacity, the strengthening of resilient supply chains and significant investment in key industries such as semiconductors, aerospace and other dual-use industries. The acquisition of Heller by DN Solutions marks a pivotal moment in this profound transformation and is aimed at unlocking and driving further growth in the industry.

Both companies share a strong commitment to precision, innovation and long-term partnerships. The integration plan aims to preserve Heller's brand identity while leveraging synergies in the areas of research and development, manufacturing and market strategies. Heller will remain a major local employer and partner. DN Solutions' global resources will help drive growth and ensure the highest level of customer service.

The takeover is expected to increase DN Solutions' consolidated turnover to around 2 billion euros ($2.3 Billion). Together, the two companies manufacture over 13,400 machines per year, thereby strengthening economies of scale and their purchasing power. Strategic investments at the Nürtingen site and other international locations are intended to expand the range of services and further improve customer support.

Outlook for the Next 12 to 24 Months

DN Solutions is planning a gradual integration after the merger in order to develop a common corporate culture and ensure close coordination. A key objective is to strengthen Heller's sales growth. To this end, the strong customer bases of both companies will be used in a targeted manner. A roadmap for joint development and innovation along the entire value chain will be defined. At the same time, significant synergies are expected in the areas of research and development, marketing, service and production, which should further strengthen the market position.

The first joint public appearance of DN Solutions and Heller will take place at SIMTOS in Seoul in April 2026. It will mark the start of the presentation of the combined strengths of both companies on the market.
