Dacke Industri acquires Völkel Mikroelektronik 

Dacke Industri acquired, on December 7^th, 2023, 100% of Völkel Mikroelektronik GmbH shares. Völkel Mikroelektronik has been a renowned company at the forefront of technological advancements on machines in the construction, agriculture, and forestry sectors for almost 40 years.

The acquisition of the German company Völkel Mikroelektronik is a strategic expansion that further solidifies the European footprint and reinforces Dacke’s commitment to meeting the customers’ evolving needs. It also supports our drive to grow and strengthen alongside businesses specializing in their own products, customized components, and systems. Völkel Mikroelektronik will join Dacke’s Electronics division, benefitting from the extensive expertise that similar companies bring to the group.

Völkel Mikroelektronik equips mobile machines with digital controls, used wherever the harsh environment requires particularly robust electronics, such as excavators, soil compactors, field sprayers, forestry harvesters, and other mobile machines. They also provide sensors and systems for compaction control and digitized road construction. 

As a technologically advanced company, they have significantly improved machines in construction, agriculture, and forestry. For several decades, they have consistently delivered flexible, innovative, and custom-made product solutions that enable customers to distinguish themselves in a rapidly expanding industry.

Völkel Mikroelektronik’s headquarters is in Münster, Germany, and it has 30 employees.

“By focusing on the key features, consistent development and simplification, we have created unique products. As we join forces with Dacke Industri, we can seize more opportunities and extend our presence in unexplored markets,” says Dirk Jansen, CEO of Völkel Mikroelektronik.

“As the company owner for roundabout 40 years, I have been fortunate to be a part of an incredible journey. I am delighted to have found a long-term owner in Dacke Industri that will enable and empower the company and its employees to continue this journey in the future,” says Ulrich Völkel, former owner of Völkel Mikroelektronik.

“The acquisition of Völkel Mikroelektronik GmbH is a significant milestone for Dacke Industri. It supports our growth strategy and enhances our presence in the European market. We will also achieve even more remarkable progress by tapping into similar companies’ extensive expertise and market presence within the Electronics division and Dacke Industri. Völkel Mikroelektronik’s quality products, technical and application know-how, and customized solutions in close customer relationships generate many opportunities. With Völkel Mikroelektronik being a part of Dacke Industri, I look forward to seeing how we can develop and enhance our competitiveness and success,” says Lars Åleby, VP Electronics of Dacke Industri.
