BERTSCHfoodtec takes over Italian partner Giacomazzi Food Tech after 25 years of successful collaboration.

It is a milestone for the established Austrian company: A notarial deed in Milan seals the acquisition of Giacomazzi Food Tech as a 100% subsidiary of BERTSCHfoodtec.

The focus of the strategic acquisition is to strengthen market presence and further market penetration in Italy, the home of Giacomazzi Food Tech, which is also an extremely important market for BERTSCHfoodtec. At the same time, BERTSCHfoodtec's core markets in Europe are to benefit from the added products and solutions. In addition, the companies plan to enter new markets with combined forces and a linked product portfolio.

BERTSCHfoodtec provides a strong foundation for joint future endeavours. Right now, synergies are used, structures are adopted, processes are aligned, and the mutual learning continues. The Austrian company's expertise in plant construction and mechanical engineering for semi-hard and hard cheeses is topped off by the Italian know-how for pasta filata. Giacomazzi Food Tech specializes in systems for curd drainage and maturation as well as hardening and brining lines for moulded cheeses.

BERTSCHfoodtec has already been operating in the dairy industry for nearly 100 years and has since developed into a leading international player in plant engineering for cheese processing plants and dairy plants. Addition to the company’s international locations are an office in Carpi (Modena) and a production facility in Parma. Giacomazzi Food Tech will continue to operate under its own name and the management will remain in the family with Mauro Giacomazzi as Managing Director.

Mauro Giacomazzi is the second generation Giacomazzi in the company and is also excited about the acquisition. "We are proud to now be a part of BERTSCHfoodtec. We look forward to joining forces and achieving new goals together. This acquisition is a big step for us. We are ready to grow and succeed with BERTSCHfoodtec."

Hubert Bertsch Jr, Managing Director of BERTSCHfoodtec and responsible for technology and production, represents the fourth generation of the Bertsch family in the company: "It is a pleasure for us to add Giacomazzi Food Tech to our group. We are building intensively on our previous cooperation and using the connecting strengths to provide our customers with high-quality production lines and to drive innovation."

It is not only a strategic but also an emotional matter for both parties involved. BERTSCHfoodtec as well as Giacomazzi Food Tech are family businesses with strong innovative power, great quality awareness and dedicated customer centricity. The extremely profitable and also in terms of interpersonal relationships successful cooperation of the past 25 years has shown that the Austrian and Italian companies complement each other perfectly. By realizing joint projects, both parties have become stronger and, with the legal union, intend to sustainably work the relevant markets in a goal-oriented manner.

"We are confident that together we will expand our business and serve our customers even better. We strive to shape the future of the dairy industry and to consolidate our position as a leading supplier of cheese processing plants and dairy plants," comments Christoph Hueber, who as Managing Director of BERTSCHfoodtec is responsible for sales and project management.

New workspace for the milk processing

New workspace for the milk processing at Marina and Michael Kegele in Bürserberg! 

The alpine dairy was equipped with a BERTSCH pasteuriser and cheese vat with 300l and has already been put into operation. The pasteurisation process now runs automatically thanks to a control system with electric heating.

Thank you for your trust, Family Kegele! The delicious goat's and cow's milk products produced here are sold directly from the farm or at markets in the region.
