HELLER, synonymous with innovation, quality, and service in machine tool construction for over 130 years, will continue its traditional brand. The new partnership opens additional perspectives – for customers, for employees, and for the entire industry. Together, a company with international impact, technological depth, and comprehensive process competence in machine tool construction is being created.
DN Solutions – Dynamics from Korea, globally connected
DN Solutions is part of the DN Automotive Group and is one of the fastest-growing companies in international machine tool construction. With a revenue of around 2 billion US dollars and more than 2,000 employees, DN Solutions is now among the top 3 manufacturers worldwide.
Through the merger with HELLER, DN Solutions strengthens its presence in Europe and expands its portfolio in the area of complex machining centers and 5-axis technologies. 'DN Solutions has established itself on the global stage. By combining our strengths with HELLER's over 130 years of know-how in machining centers, this partnership will bring groundbreaking innovations to the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, the two companies will provide their customers with a unique added value and strengthen their position as a high-end brand in the global machine tool market,' explains Wonjong Kim, CEO of DN Solutions.
HELLER – Engineering excellence with global experience
Since 1894, HELLER has stood for precision, process competence, and turnkey solutions in machine tool construction. The company employs around 2,100 people worldwide, has its own production sites on four continents, and is regarded as a recognized technology partner in international machine tool construction.
HELLER is particularly valued for its 4- and 5-axis machining technologies, its comprehensive service understanding, and its ability to develop turnkey production solutions for customers worldwide.
'HELLER remains HELLER – we will continue our brand, our DNA, and our culture in the new partnership. At the same time, enormous opportunities open up for us to showcase our expertise even better in a global network,' says Dr. Thorsten Schmidt, Chairman of the Management Board of HELLER.
A common goal: A full-range provider in machine tool construction
With the combination of DN Solutions and HELLER, one of the world's most comprehensive providers of solutions in machine tool construction is created. In the future, customers will benefit from being able to cover their requirements with just one contact person – from drilling machines to 5-axis or turnkey solutions and automation systems.
'By combining our strengths, we will become a true one-stop shop in machine tool construction,' says Dr. Schmidt. 'Customers will no longer need to engage different partners in the network – we offer all solutions from a single source.'
Complementary strengths for the future
The merger of DN Solutions and HELLER creates a service offering that complements each other perfectly:
- HELLER stands for engineering excellence, service excellence, and the ability to implement complex, customized projects.
- DN Solutions brings dynamics, high volume competence, the ability to achieve rapid economies of scale, and a strong market presence in Asia and North America.
'Each side brings something unique. Together we will be even stronger – and above all, more relevant for our customers worldwide,' says Wonjong Kim.
More value for customers
For customers, the partnership means above all one thing: even more choices, faster implementation, and access to a unique combination of technologies. Tasks that previously required multiple providers can now be fully fulfilled with a single partner – efficiently, reliably, and future-oriented.
'We are convinced that together with HELLER we will send a strong signal for the entire machine tool industry,' emphasizes Wonjong Kim. 'Our partnership stands for growth, stability, and the clear vision of actively shaping the future of production.'
The completion of the merger is still subject to the condition of approval from the relevant antitrust and other authorities. DN Solutions and HELLER are seeking a swift granting of the necessary approvals.
