Denmark-based NFF has been acquired from a private equity fund managed by Dania Capital. NFF exports over 90% of its products to customers in more than 26 countries. The company’s main markets are Asia, followed by Europe and the US. This customer portfolio will expand WTS’ customer base for safety applications in cruise and yacht particularly. With employees based in Denmark, Italy, China and Korea, NFF’s international sales and distribution network will complement WTS’ global reach very well. “This bolt-on acquisition is a perfect fit for us. We anticipate many beneficial opportunities with this acquisition and also expect to further interest offshore customers with our extended fire safety capabilities” added Traaholt. Water Mist is an extremely effective fire fighting medium and consequently is becoming a preferred solution for many applications in the maritime market. In the marine and offshore segments, water mist systems are chosen for their high flexibility in enclosed spaces as well as their limited impact on the structure and components. The system is non-hazardous to personnel, environmentally friendly and has a short deployment lead time.
