Hoyer VMS Group

Hoyer VMS Group was formed at the end of 2025 by merging two companies: Hoyer, which has built Hoyer Motors electric motors since 1974, and VMS Group, a marine service specialist established in 2001. VMS Group built its business on service, repair and maintenance of marine engines and propulsion systems and is a well-known name in Brazil and other parts of South America.

With the merger, VMS Group passed to Hoyer Group; VMS founder and previous owner Morten Vestergaard described the combination as a new harbour for his life's work. Capidea assumed majority ownership of Hoyer VMS, and the ownership structure includes CapIdea Management ApS, Polaris Management A/S and Motortramp A/S.

At the merger the companies employed approximately 300 (Hoyer) and 400 (VMS Group) people; the group cites 700+ people across more than 10 locations. Henrik Sørensen is CEO and Søren Ø. Sørensen chairs the board. Hoyer VMS is the parent company of the Hoyer Motors brand.
