Sunds Fibertech is building a strong product portfolio for emission control, specifically targeting the panelboard and other process industries. On May 21, Sunds Fibertech entered into an agreement to acquire Advanced Cyclone Systems (ACS), a renowned Portuguese cyclone specialist company with several patents for emission and particle separation. This acquisition aligns with Sunds Fibertech’s “Boost your plant” mission and addresses the increasing demand for emission control solutions. The acquisition will formally take effect on May 27.
ACS with headquarter in Portugal and a subsidiary in Brazil was founded 2008 by Romualdo Salcedo and Pedro Araújo. The company is dedicated to the development and commercialization of high efficiency cyclone systems worldwide. ACS has been a reliable partner to several industries for many years, providing cyclone systems and optimizing the cyclones for the specific operational conditions and particle characteristics.
With this acquisition, Sunds Fibertech will enhance its presence in Europe and South America and expand the Environmental Systems business segment. The combined organization will leverage shared knowledge, best practices, and innovations across all markets, contributing to the development of a stronger product portfolio and service offering.
“This acquisition represents an exciting opportunity to strengthen our position within Environmental Systems and to build upon the outstanding work already carried out by ACS. We chose ACS because of their technology-leading market position and unique product, which perfectly complement our existing portfolio. We believe that combining ACS’s offering with Sunds Fibertech’s process equipment will create a truly unique and competitive solution.” says Lars Eklund, CEO of Sunds Fibertech.
Pedro Araújo, CEO of ACS, points out: “Over the years, ACS has demonstrated the value of its high-efficiency cyclones across a wide range of industries. The wood-based panel industry soon emerged as one of the most promising segments for us. However, we always knew that succeeding in this market would require a strong, strategic partner — one that shared our values, and could help us expand our presence and co-develop products tailored to its specific challenges. We believe that joining forces with Sunds gives ACS greater opportunities to grow and evolve — in the panel sector and beyond — thanks to their long-term commitment to innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong client focus.”
