Andritz to acquire centrifuge repairer

Andritz, a supplier of solid/liquid separation equipment for industrial and municipal applications, has signed an agreement to purchase Contec Decanter Inc based in California, USA. The purchase price was not disclosed.

Contec specialises in the repair and maintenance of centrifuges and separators for various industries and has annual sales of approximately 3 million.

With this acquisition, Andritz has added a service centre for centrifuges and separators on the west coast of the USA to its network of existing service centres in the USA, Europe, and Asia. This will enable Andritz to better and faster serve local customers and to strengthen its leading position in servicing centrifuge installations, the company says.
