Fortifi Food Processing Solutions acquired the intellectual property and customer relationships, as well as select inventories and fixed assets, of JWE-BANSS GmbH, a manufacturer and provider of primary protein processing systems, equipment and related parts.

The company filed for insolvency during the summer of 2024. Through the asset acquisition, Fortifi becomes the sole legal provider of BANSS aftermarket parts and the exclusive owner of the company’s library of engineered designs and part drawings.

“I am pleased to welcome BANSS customers into the Fortifi fold,” Massimo Bizzi, CEO of Fortifi, said. “We recognize the vital role that responsive customer service, innovation, high-quality solutions and consistent on-time delivery play in our customers’ operations. Through Frontmatec, the Fortifi team is ready to ensure a smooth transition with enhanced service quality.”

“Frontmatec is dedicated to revitalizing relationships with BANSS customers and earning their trust through the delivery of exceptional service and support,” Dennis Gallagher, president of Frontmatec, said. “In addition to being their sole authorized source of aftermarket parts, we’re ready to provide cutting-edge food processing solutions to help drive these customers’ business growth and success.”
