Deutz Acquires Brazilian Generator Manufacturer Maxi Trust Power Ltda.
Engine and generator maker Deutz last month completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the shares in Maxi Trust Power Ltda. The Brazilian manufacturer of gas and diesel generators is one of the leading providers in Brazil and Latin America. With the completion of the transaction, Deutz is expanding its global network as a provider and system integrator of decentralized energy supply solutions, a market that is experiencing strong growth worldwide.
“We are pleased to officially welcome Maxi Trust to Deutz,” said Deutz CEO Dr. Sebastian Schulte. ”The company has a strong market position in Brazil and is an excellent complement to our existing energy business. Together, we want to seize the growth opportunities that arise and further expand our activities in the field of decentralized energy supply.”
Deutz expects the acquisition to generate around €40 million in additional profitable revenue. This will help drive revenue in the energy sector to around €500 million by 2030 through organic and inorganic growth.
With the acquisition of Frerk Aggregatebau, completed in February 2026, Deutz is already one of Europe’s leading providers of high-end emergency power systems, which are primarily used in critical infrastructure such as data centers. Deutz had already established itself in the U.S. generators market with the acquisition of Blue Star Power Systems in 2024.
