Aachen, Germany-based Thouet Maschinenbau will become the newest member of the Royal Duyvis Wiener Group.
The machinery manufacturer, founded in 1947, will become a part of the Duyvis family, just two years and a half years after the Dutch cocoa processing supplier acquired F. B. Lehmann. Thouet is a leading producer of machinery and equipment for the cocoa industry including conches, melters, mixers, kneaders, pumps and cocoa powder pulverizing plants.
