Highlights

DexKo was formed through the merger of Dexter and AL-KO Vehicle Technology (VT) under the umbrella of Dexko Global Inc.

The company has leading product development know how with 130+ years of trailer and caravan components expertise.

Through DexKo’s growth strategy, they have expanded their reach to a variety of complementary markets and geographies, serving a more diverse range of customers across a truly global footprint and a broad portfolio of respected brands. Today, DexKo holds a leading market share in multiple core categories.

Acquisitions are a critical component of our growth strategy. DexKo has a successful track record of acquiring, integrating and growing acquired businesses. So does the PRIMEPULSE team. We very much appreciate the exchange of experiences especially with Klaus Weinmann and the Kobers, with whom we have a long common history.
