DUNGS acquires IBS Industrie-Brenner-Systeme GmbH

Urbach/Hagen, 17 June 2026 – The DUNGS Group has acquired IBS Industrie-Brenner-Systeme GmbH, based in Hagen. With this acquisition, DUNGS strengthens its strategic focus on industrial process heat, expanding its product range from components and gas systems to complete burner systems for high- and low-temperature processes.

IBS will continue to operate in its current form. The IBS brand, product names and familiar points of contact will remain unchanged. From the third quarter of 2026, IBS’s burner solutions will also be offered through DUNGS’s global sales network.

With this move, DUNGS reinforces its commitment  to covering the entire value chain  for industrial thermal processes.

“Our aim is to accompany our customers on the journey from component to system – from the individual valve to the complete burner system. In this way, we take the complexity off our customers’ hands and deliver engineered solutions so that they can focus on their process rather than the technology behind it,” explains Daniel Dungs, CSO at DUNGS.

“In DUNGS, we have found the ideal partner for the next step. This is a great opportunity – for our staff and for the future of IBS. We are proud of what we have built up and know it is now in reliable hands,” says Bernd Machovsky, Managing Director and former shareholder of IBS Industrie-Brenner-Systeme GmbH.
