DN Solutions Acquires German High-End Machine Tool Manufacturer Heller
DN Solutions recently signed an agreement to acquire Heller Group, a German cutting-edge machine tool manufacturer. Heller, founded in 1894, is a 130-year-old company recognized for its world-class machining center technology, specializing in demanding, high-precision processes.
Once the integration is complete, DN Solutions’ consolidated sales are expected to approach $2.3 billion USD.
On August 26th, Won-jong Kim, CEO of DN Solutions, met with the Heller family, the largest shareholder of Heller Holding SE & Co. KGaA in Nürtingen, Germany, and signed a contract to acquire all its shares.
With this deal, DN Solutions will gain Heller’s world-class machining center technology, developed over more than 130 years. This integration will broaden DN Solutions’ portfolio and strengthen its position as a top-tier brand in the global machine tool market.
By combining their production networks, the two companies will become an even stronger global partner for customers. Heller operates five major plants in Germany, the UK, the U.S., Brazil, and China, while DN Solutions runs facilities in Korea and China and is constructing a new plant in India.
This global production footprint will provide both companies with the flexibility to respond effectively to regional demand shifts, supply chain dynamics, and trade policy changes. In particular, the U.S. plant is expected to act as an effective safeguard against the impact of recent changes in U.S. tariff policies.
With more than 130 years of experience in the machine tool industry and a broad installation base, Heller brings deep customer service expertise and resources. This will serve as a catalyst for DN Solutions’ ongoing innovation in pursuit of service excellence.
