The company founded in 2004, is a leading manufacturer of shotblasting equipment and well respected for its high quality products and customer focused service. “By acquiring Impacts, we widen our product portfolio, reinforce our presence in the surface preparation market and are able to create a home market in Germany for both Impacts and VonArx branded products,” says Fredrik Åkermark, owner and CEO of VonArx.

VonArx has been growing rapidly during the last four years and has developed several new products during a short time. Impacts product range, together with extensive experience and knowledge in the surface preparation industry, will add invaluable value to VonArx. Impacts will trade as a separate brand and continue to distribute Impacts branded products through its current distribution network. Operations and manufacturing will remain in Overath, Germany.

“Together we will be stronger. By utilising respective companies’ strengths and continuing to offer high levels of customer service, which already is both Impacts and VonArx focus, we will be an even more attractive partner for surface preparation contractors around the world,” says Fredrik Åkermark.
