Filter Press Manufacturer Diemme Filtration Acquired by Passavant-Geiger

Ravenna, Italy, March 02, 2012 --(PR.com)-- In October 2011, the filter division of DIEMME S.p.a. was spun off and Diemme Filtration srl was born.

The new company was acquired by Passavant-Geiger GmbH, a specialist in environmental technology and wastewater treatment that is part of the Bilfinger Berger Facility Services Group.

Bilfinger Berger Facility Services is one of the leading providers of integrated facility services in Europe and has subsidiaries in more than 30 countries around the world.

Passavant-Geiger, which is expanding its services range in filtration technologies, has acquired a majority stake in Diemme Filtration and will retain the experienced management team.

Diemme Filtration is active in 42 countries. In addition to Europe, key markets also include India, Russia and various South American countries with a focus on industrial clients.

Passavant-Geiger, on the other hand, is focused mainly on environmental technology and wastewater treatment for public sector clients. Not only are the two companies completely complementary in terms of client base, they also complement one another in terms of geography: Diemme Filtration and Passavant-Geiger are both active throughout the world and have non-conflicting distribution networks.

Diemme Fitration will strengthen Passavant-Geiger’s product range in the area of sludge-slurry dewatering technologies and, thanks to the resulting synergy effects, will be in a position to cover the entire spectrum of industries that employ filter press technology.
