Energy business
- DEUTZ becomes a global provider in the field of decentralized energy supply
- Acquisition provides access to the rapidly growing market for emergency power systems for data centers and critical infrastructure
- Anticipated additional profitable revenue of around €100 million per year
Cologne, February 3, 2026 – DEUTZ, a system provider for innovative and sustainable mobility and energy solutions, today completed its acquisition of all of the shares in Frerk Aggregatebau GmbH. The acquisition agreement had been signed in December 2025.
Frerk, which has seven sites in Germany and is headquartered in Lower Saxony, is a systems integrator for diesel and gas emergency power systems at the cutting-edge of technology and is particularly well established in the demanding data center segment. In addition to electricity generators, the company supplies turnkey systems that ensure an uninterrupted power supply in the event of an outage, enabling it to meet the high standards that operators of data centers, hospitals and other critical infrastructure expect of emergency power systems.
Following the successful integration of US genset manufacturer Blue Star Power Systems, which was acquired in 2024, DEUTZ will create a globally scalable portfolio for decentralized energy supply with its acquisition of Frerk. DEUTZ will contribute its unparalleled expertise in engines and systems, its industrialization capabilities, and a worldwide network of dealers and service outlets. The Company is thus continuing to forge ahead with its strategy of putting itself on a broader footing and making it less dependent on the cyclical internal combustion engine business. In doing so, it is maintaining a clear focus on fast-growing markets in which DEUTZ can deploy its strengths and expertise.
With the transaction completed, the project is now entering the integration phase. DEUTZ expects the acquisition of Frerk to provide additional profitable revenue of around €100 million. Building on this, revenue in the Energy business is expected to increase to approximately €500 million by 2030 through both organic growth and growth by acquisition.
