With production plants in Fasterholt, Ferritslev, Middelfart and Koege DOT already possess a strong position on the Danish market, and the buying in Sweden is going to strengthen its position even further. By means of this buying, DOT expects to achieve an improved synergy in the entire concern concerning the sharing of knowledge like know-how, automation and product optimisation.
