ITT’s Svanehøj Acquires KOHO, Expanding Portfolio with Compressor Technology for Growing Gas Solutions Market
The acquisition significantly expands Svanehøj’s capabilities beyond pumps and into compressors, which are critical components for handling hydrogen, hydrocarbons and other demanding gases. By integrating KOHO’s reciprocating compressor systems into its existing portfolio of cryogenic pump and tank control technology, Svanehøj now offers a wider range of solutions for liquefied gas applications. This positions ITT as a differentiated provider of mission-critical components for the energy transition, enabling customers to manage both liquid and gaseous fuels with a single trusted partner.
“This is a logical expansion for Svanehøj in the gas tanker segment, where we have delivered cargo pump systems and integrated services to LPG and LNG carriers for many years.

When combined with Svanehøj’s and ITT’s strengths in supply chain and sales, we believe we can unlock new opportunities that will strengthen and expand the company in the future,” said Svanehøj’s Chief Executive Officer Søren Kringelholt.
