On 12 September 2025, Burckhardt Compression completed the acquisition of ACT (Advanced Compressor Technology), a service and part manufacturing company specializing in reciprocating compressors for the downstream market in the United States. With locations in Batavia, Illinois, and Pasadena, Texas, ACT has a strong position in key industries such as fertilizers, industrial gases, petrochemicals, and refining. This acquisition supports Burckhardt Compression's growth strategy in the US by expanding its service network close to downstream customers and adding local component manufacturing capabilities.   Rainer Duebi, President of the Services Division at Burckhardt Compression: "We planned the acquisition of ACT as a strategic move that fits perfectly with our growth ambitions in the US. It improves our ability to support downstream customers through local manufacturing of spare parts and broader service coverage. The timing is ideal – it will help us mitigate the impact of tariffs on Swiss exports. ACT will continue to grow with Burckhardt Compression, and we will benefit enormously from their expertise."   Pierre Carles, Manager Strategy, who supervised the project on the Burckhardt Compression side:"MelCap and IFBC provided outstanding support throughout the end-to-end acquisition process, from initial target approach to closing. Their professionalism, deep expertise in M&A process and responsiveness played a key role in ensuring a smooth relationship with the sellers and a timely transaction. Collaborating with this team was a real pleasure."    Burckhardt Compression was advised by IFBC AG and its Globalscope Partners MelCap as exclusive financial advisor and investment banker in connection with the acquisition of ACT. IFBC and MelCap Partners supported Burckhardt Compression with buy-side M&A advisory services, particularly in the search for the target company, valuation considerations, and contract negotiations.
