Pascal Denis, CEO Vernet Behringer
What inspired you to acquire a stake in Vernet Behringer?
There were some interesting synergies. First of all, the product synergies. Behringer sawing machines and Vernet drilling machines are an outstanding match for one another in the field of profile machining. It is a growth market in which we were able to position ourselves better by working together. Synergies also arose through the different domestic markets of France and Germany, which also had a positive effect on an international level in terms of building a stronger network. And last but not least, working closely together has driven us both forward, in regard to innovation and technology.
How has Vernet Behringer developed?
In the last ten years, Vernet Behringer has greatly expanded its market presence and is a recognised international player with over 70% of the annual turnover.
How do you see Behringer and Vernet Behringer working together in the future?
There is still a lot of potential for development. For example, shared projects for integrating automatic lines or in regard to digitalisation. Our solid partnership spanning 23 years provides a sound basis for such work.
