What DACS does

DACS A/S is a privately held Danish manufacturer of energy-efficient ventilation and climate control systems for livestock production, headquartered in Nr. Snede, Denmark. The company has operated for more than 35 years (founded 1987) and sells through a global dealer network serving customers in more than 50 countries, with a primary end market in commercial poultry production and secondary exposure to pig and dairy operations. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and operates its own industrial wind tunnel for in-house performance validation.

The core product platform is built around the MagFan series of variable-speed wall fans (MagFan 57-inch, MagFan Big50, MagFan Mini), engineered using CFD and rated at 45.7–73.4 m³/h/W efficiency as independently verified by AgriFutures Australia. These fans integrate with MagDoor insulated roller shutters, CoronaD and CoronaS fan-assisted air inlets (which recycle ceiling heat to cut heating costs), the IP69+-rated MagDrive motor control, and HE740 roof exhaust units. The ACS6 climate controller paired with the ACSnet cloud platform provides centralized monitoring of climate, feeding, water, and production parameters (FCR, EPEF) with ERP integration, while add-on modules include the PS1 poultry scale and AddAir/HEAT60 warm water radiators.

DACS monetizes exclusively through hardware sales of ventilation and climate equipment to enterprise livestock farmers, distributed via regional dealers and direct contact through the company website; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic emphasis has been on expanding the MagFan product line, scaling the ACSnet software platform with free updates and licensing, exhibiting at IPPE 2026 in Atlanta to enter the US market, and actively recruiting new dealers to extend the channel footprint beyond 50 countries. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external ownership.
