As part of a structured sales process, QVM acquires NESS Wärmetechnik GmbH, headquartered in Remshalden (hereinafter “NESS”), from its shareholders Dr. Andreas Ness and Dietmar Ness, who have successfully managed and continuously developed the company over many years in its second generation.

 

NESS is a technologically leading full-service provider of industrial thermal engineering solutions. Its core competencies include the planning, engineering, and construction of customized process heat systems for demanding applications, including the wood-based materials industry, chemicals, plastics, the energy sector (e.g., biomass plants), mechanical and plant engineering, as well as the food and pharmaceutical industries. The service portfolio is complemented by a comprehensive service and spare parts business and by modular expansion products (“NESSessities”) that can be used independently of the original equipment manufacturer.

 

Together with QVM, the successful development of NESS is to be continued and selectively accelerated. The focus will be on further strengthening its technological leadership, expanding the service and spare parts business, and opening up additional fields of application and markets. The existing structures, management, and NESS team will remain in place and form the foundation for future growth.

Felix Hückel, Partner at QVM, adds: “NESS has exceptional technological expertise, a strong market position, and long-standing customer relationships in demanding industries. We see great potential to further develop the company strategically together with the existing team and to achieve sustainable growth.”
