Alfa Gomma S.p.A. in liquidazione – Signing of the definitive agreements for the sale of Alfa Gomma Group to Danfoss A/S (“Danfoss”)
Following the press release of 12 June 2026, the Board of Receivers of Alfa Gomma S.p.A. in Liquidazione announces the signing of the definitive agreements for the sale of Alfa Gomma Group to Danfoss.
The Board of Receivers resolved to grant Danfoss an exclusivity period following the assessment of the binding offers received in the context of the competitive process aimed at the valorization of the Group. Danfoss’s offer was considered particularly aligned with the objectives of the liquidation procedure, as confirmed by the definitive agreements that have now been signed.
As a result of the transaction, Alfa Gomma will become part of the Fluid Conveyance division, a core business within the Danfoss Power Solutions segment, creating a leading global player in fluid conveyance with complementary know-how, manufacturing, and distribution capabilities.
It should be noted that Danfoss, founded in 1933 and headquartered in Denmark, is a global group specializing in the design and manufacture of advanced components and systems for the Mobile & Industrial Hydraulics, Power Electronics & Drives, and HVACR & Climate Technologies sectors. In 2025, Danfoss generated revenues of €9.4 billion and employed approximately 39,000 people worldwide. Danfoss already has a significant presence in Italy, with an established industrial and commercial platform and numerous manufacturing facilities, offices, and operational centers across the country. This presence has been further strengthened in recent years through a number of acquisitions, including Palladio Compressors and Hydro Holding. Danfoss is a family-controlled company with a concentrated and stable ownership structure. Its controlling shareholders, the Bitten & Mads Clausen Foundation and the Clausen family, collectively hold more than 99% of the company’s share capital.
The Board of Receivers said: “This transaction represents the successful outcome of a structured process aimed at preserving business continuity and securing long-term value for Alfa Gomma and its stakeholders. In Danfoss, we have found the right, important industrial partner: a family-owned, leading global company that shares its values and long-term vision, with a clear commitment to strengthen the operations, support the industrial base, and ensure stability, growth, and continued investment in the people, capabilities, and operations of Alfa Gomma. We consider that this is the best possible outcome for the company, its employees, customers, and suppliers, and for the industrial communities in which Alfa Gomma operates. In our role of receivers appointed at the end of May 2025, we believe that we have fulfilled our mandate, including from a timing perspective, aimed at providing Alfa Gomma with a future of continuity and growth.”
Kim Fausing, President and CEO of Danfoss, stated: “The acquisition of Alfa Gomma is a significant milestone for Danfoss and an important strategic step in executing our long-term strategy. By bringing together these two businesses, we form a leading global player in fluid conveyance, giving us complementary capabilities, greater scale, and the global presence needed to better serve all our customers and accelerate future growth. We are excited to welcome talented colleagues from a company we have long admired for its dedicated and competent people, strong customer partnerships, and industry-leading expertise and service.”
The acquisition is subject to necessary approvals. It is expected to be fully completed by Q4 2026. Until closing, Alfa Gomma and Danfoss will continue to operate independently, with a strong focus on business continuity, stability, and delivering the high level of service customers expect.
For customers, suppliers, and employees, it is business as usual, while both companies prepare for the next chapter together.
The Company will provide any further updates in due course.
