WINTERTHUR, Switzerland (Feb. 5, 2013) – Sulzer has acquired Krøger A/S, a manufacturer of dispensers in Greve, Denmark. The acquisition was signed and closed on Feb. 5, 2013.

The acquisition expands the product portfolio of the business unit Sulzer Mixpac and strengthens its position as technology leader and solution provider for 1- and 2-component application systems for industrial sealants and adhesives.

Through the last 50 years Krøger A/S has developed a range of high-quality manual, pneumatic and battery driven 1- and 2-component dispensers with the well-known brand name MK guns for numerous industry and construction applications.
