The acquisition expands KSS' scope of capabilities in the food and beverage industries.
Koch Separation Solutions (KSS), a provider of separation technology headquartered in Wilmington, Mass., said it acquired of Willmar, Minn.-based Relco, a provider of process technologies for the dairy and food industry. The acquisition allows KSS to better serve customers and leverage the synergistic capabilities of its various complementary technologies in the dairy, food and beverage markets.
"The acquisition of Relco marks an important step in KSS' transformation to become an integrated solutions provider, delivering superior value to existing and new customers," said Manny Singh, president of KSS. "We believe that separation challenges in the dairy, food and other industries are complex and rarely solved with one technology. The acquisition of Relco adds complementary evaporation and drying technologies to the existing membrane and ion exchange offering of KSS.”
