The company, headquartered in Sweden, develops and manufactures ovens and baking equipment for the commercial foodservice and industrial baking industries. The company markets its products under three leading brands, Sveba Dahlen, Glimek, and Bear Varimixer. The combined group has approximately $60 million in annual sales.

“This acquisition adds several highly-respected, industry-leading, brands to our portfolio. Sveba Dahlen is a leader in bakery ovens for restaurant, hotel, retail and institutional customers, Glimek is a leader in high capacity bakery systems for industrial bakeries, and Bear Varimixer is recognized as one of the most reputable brands of mixer equipment worldwide,” said Selim A. Bassoul, Chairman and CEO of the Middleby Corporation. “This acquisition significantly strengthens Middleby’s position in the bakery category and provides for increased growth opportunities in the retail market.
