DN Solutions, recently announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire HELLER Group. Through this acquisition, DN Solutions will secure HELLER’s machining center expertise, built over more than 130 years of continuous innovation and development. The integration will significantly expand DN Solutions’ product portfolio while reinforcing its position as a top-tier brand in the global machine tool industry.
The agreement was formally signed on August 26th in Nürtingen, Germany, where Kim Won-jong, CEO of DN Solutions, met with the HELLER family, the largest shareholder of HELLER Holding SE & Co. KGaA, to acquire all shares of the company.
Moreover, by combining their production networks, DN Solutions and HELLER will provide customers with an even stronger and more comprehensive global partnership. HELLER currently operates five major plants in Germany, the UK, the U.S., Brazil, and China. DN Solutions, on the other hand, operates facilities in Korea and China and is in the process of constructing a new manufacturing 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 installed 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.
HELLER also has an extensive track record of working with leading global companies in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries – sectors that demand the highest levels of technological capability. This experience will enable DN Solutions to gain stronger insights into key customer industries.
For HELLER, DN Solutions provides financial stability and synergy through its strong capital base, global sales network, and broad product portfolio. Together, the two companies expect to achieve stronger sales, greater cost competitiveness through economies of scale, and improved profitability.
Both firms aim to secure regulatory approvals swiftly and move ahead to deliver stronger growth, profitability, and value for customers worldwide.
DN Solutions CEO Won-Jong Kim said: “DN Solutions has been competing on the global stage. By combining our strengths with HELLER’s 130 years of expertise in machining centers, this partnership will deliver groundbreaking innovations to the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, the two companies will offer unique value to customers and reinforce their position as a high-end brand in the global machine tool market.”
HELLER CEO Dr. Thorsten Schmidt said: “This partnership gives us the opportunity to accelerate innovation and expand our global reach. By uniting HELLER’s process expertise with DN Solutions’ strong resources and fast-moving spirit, we will set new standards for the machine tool industry.”
