Lindab acquires Finnish roof and wall cladding company
Lindab has today entered into an agreement to acquire Finland's Koto Pelti OY, which produces and sells metal roofing and wall cladding products. The company has a turnover of just over €3 m and is centrally located in Kyyjärvi, Finland, 140 km east of Vaasa and 400 km north of Helsinki.
Koto Pelti offers a locally adapted assortment of roofing and wall cladding in sheet steel for the Finnish market. Local production of market specific products in combination with centrally manufactured products form an important part of Lindab's offering in every important market in Europe. The acquisition creates a platform for the development of sales of complete solutions within the Building Components division to the Finnish construction market.
Peter Andsberg, Business Area Manager for Profile, comments "The goal is for Lindab to become established as one of the leading players in the Finnish market within the segment for sheet steel roofing and wall systems. The acquisition will allow us to offer quick deliveries of specially adapted products directly to the work place. This is an important factor in providing the right service to the end customer".
