US: Beumer Group has acquired the Hendrik Group for an undisclosed sum. It plans to expand its portfolio of bulk material transport with a focus on alternative fuels and raw materials for both the cement and mining sectors. The technology it is buying will also give it capabilities in the bulk handling of hazardous materials.
Markus Schmidt, the chief executive officer of Beumer Corporation, said “The Hendrik Group specialises in the efficient and environmentally friendly transport of bulk materials. This aligns very well with our goals of bringing sustainable products to the market and improving our customers’ carbon footprint.”
The Hendrik Group is a US-based manufacturer of air-supported belt conveyors. It was founded in 1983 by Henk Hartsuiker and is based in Woodbury, Connecticut.
