Deutz acquires Italian dealer

German engine manufacturer Deutz has acquired its Italian dealer IML Motori, and will operate the business as one of its own service centres.

Based in Lomagna near Milan, IML Motori has worked with Deutz since it was founded by the Keller family in 1904. The company operates a national service network in Italy and Romania and is Deutz’s exclusive sales partner in both countries. The subsidiary IML Service and the Romanian sales and service company IML Motoare are also part of the acquisition.

Deutz's Michael Wellenzohn said: “This acquisition is in line with our strategy of investing in the company’s service network in selected locations in order to drive further growth in this profitable segment. The increasing technical complexity of the engine business also requires close contact with our customers. The acquisition of IML Motori will mean that our Italian customers benefit from even more Deutz expertise locally and from a more intensive customer relationship.”

IML Motori managing director Roberto Brivio added: “Deutz’s acquisition of IML demonstrates its long term commitment to the Italian market. Now that we are part of the Deutz Group, we will work in an even more integrated way, and even with more energy, being in a position to use Deutz’s innovations and resources – such as electric drives and electric boat engines from Torqeedo – at an early stage. This will allow us to further improve our penetration of the Italian market, including in the marine segment.”
