VINCI Energies acquired Kramer & Best Anlagenbau GmbH, based in Dörth (Germany) on March 8th, 2024. The medium-sized, owner-managed company was founded in 1982 and counts about 120 employees at a total of four locations.
Kramer & Best will be integrated into the VINCI Energies industrial brand Actemium in Germany as an independent business unit, and can therefore increase the activities in the pharmaceutical, life science and chemicals sectors, for which Actemium carries out energy, electrical and automation work. The mechanical and process engineering expertise of Kramer & Best is an excellent complement to the services of Actemium. The company generated sales of €33 million, in 2023.
“With Kramer & Best, we are in a position to offer our customers an even wider spectrum than before, from the entire engineering to process automation to the realization of turnkey process plant construction,” says André Rottstegge, Managing Director at Actemium Germany, into whose area the company will be integrated. “We are looking forward to the cooperation with the Kramer & Best team!”
“We will be able to make very good use of our many years of expertise in the pharmaceutical, glass and food industries and are looking forward to the new opportunities that will arise for us through the international network of VINCI Energies.” says Dr. Markus Kramer, who, as Managing Director and Business Unit Manager, will help shape the future at Actemium, together with his brothers and the existing management team.
