Soren Rasmussen SiccaDania’s CEO:

Through this acquisition, SiccaDania gains a strong position as an innovative market leader not only for single machines but for high-quality technical solutions and state-of-the-art complete starch production process lines."

"The food processing industry is continuously facing demanding themes in today’s world, such as rising human population, environmental pollution, and a general change in customers’ lifestyles, forcing us to focus on the most sustainable and the most innovative technologies."

"By combining the resources within the SiccaDania group, we will strive to become the world leader in advanced starch and co-products systems. Ranging from single components and process units to complete turnkey plants, we aim at becoming the first-choice supplier to our customers worldwide."

SiccaDania is excited to have this experienced and talented group of people joining their organization. With over 125 years of experience, Nivoba and its team have become instrumental in developing many of the technologies currently used by starch producers all over the world.

On the other hand, Hovex, initially a break-out from Nivoba, is considered an expert in delivering the highest demands for purity, efficiency, and sustainability. In 2017, the combination of these two strong Dutch names has created a powerful player in the global starch industry.
