TGE Group Announces Acquisition of Evaporator Dryer Technologies, Inc.

We are excited to announce that on April 3rd, 2024, TGE Group successfully acquired Evaporator Dryer Technologies (EDT), a leading American company specializing in designing and building turnkey evaporation and drying solutions for the food industry since 1994.

TGE Group now proudly incorporates EDT along with Marriott Walker Corporation (MWC), forming a robust team of 35 engineers across three strategic locations in Paris, France; Detroit, Michigan; and Hammond, Wisconsin. This alliance generates a combined turnover of $35 million USD, with a strong focus on dairy, flavors, food and feed ingredients, and vegetable proteins.

This strategic acquisition aims to support the growth of our primary customers internationally, ensuring that they receive the same high level of technology and service across both Europe and North America.

Company Background

Evaporator Dryer Technologies, Inc. (EDT) was established in 1994 by Jens Peter Jensen as an engineering consulting company providing customers in the Food and Dairy Industries the technical services to overcome problem areas in evaporating and spray drying processes. EDT presented customers with new process ideas and engineered equipment improvements that addressed their needs.

EDT soon realized the opportunity and recognized the need for a service that helps plants to optimize process efficiencies, maintain system sanitation and improve operational safety. In February 1999, EDT broke ground and built a new office/warehouse facility in the industrial park of Hammond, Wisconsin. With room to grow, additional facilities are planned as we extend the services provided by EDT.

Today with experienced engineers and designers on staff, EDT has grown to a competitive company providing the Food, Dairy and Pharmaceutical industries, both domestic and international, with modern evaporating and spray drying systems and components.
