We supply our clients with the full range of equipment, spare parts, and logistics services: from full CAPEX investment projects, line upgrades, extensions, and format parts, to daily MRO spare parts, predictive maintenance, and sustainability initiatives.
Many of our clients rely on DESKA as their MRO Consolidator, using our ability to source from over 1,000 brands while benefiting from cost savings, vendor base reduction, and streamlined processes.
With 50 years of experience in industrial sourcing, we combine hands-on expertise with consulting know-how in master data, tenders, and procurement structures to reduce complexity and achieve savings.
OUR DEVELOPMENTCOMPANY HISTORY
Founded in 1975 in Bremen, Germany, a city with a long tradition in international trade, DESKA began as a family business, supporting its first brewery clients in CIS countries. From the start, the company focused on combining competitive pricing with deep sourcing expertise to deliver cost savings on spare parts and components.
As client needs evolved, DESKA expanded its portfolio from MRO spare parts into full CAPEX projects, upgrades, predictive maintenance, and complex international logistics.
With the third generation now leading the company, DESKA has accelerated its international growth over the past decade, expanding its presence in Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, and South America. While remaining a family-owned business, DESKA has continuously grown its team of experienced procurement, logistics, and data specialists, combining entrepreneurial mindset with hands-on international expertise.
Over the years, DESKA has also built strong partnerships with a wide network of global equipment manufacturers and component suppliers. In addition to serving industrial clients, DESKA acts as an official representative for selected suppliers across geographies and industries, helping them expand their international reach, navigate complex customer requirements, and successfully deliver their solutions to a broad client base.
Through its involvement in thousands of sourcing projects, tenders, and consolidation programs, DESKA has built extensive expertise in master data, supplier structures, tender preparation, and procurement processes. Today, these capabilities form the foundation of DESKA’s consulting approach: helping clients optimize procurement structures, improve data quality, and generate sustainable savings across their operations.
DESKA today operates as a trusted global procurement partner, fully equipped with the processes, structures, and capabilities to support multinational clients across the globe with integrated sourcing, consulting, and logistics solutions.
