Romag Ltd is to continue operating from its 125,000 sq ft Co Durham base, along with a sales office in Berlin, following the acquisition of its assets from administration by Sweden’s Dellner Bubenzer Group.
The glass manufacturer for the global architectural, security rail and transport, markets, now to be known as Dellner Romag Ltd, is the group’s first venture into glass and will work alongside its existing UK-based Dellner Polymer Solutions (DPS) division, with both companies led by CEO Mikael Petersson. It is planned that Romag’s 100+ staff will transfer across to the new company.
The manufacture of solar panels, which formed part of Romag’s business, is not included in the purchase.
Mr Petersson said: “Glass is a new product area for Dellner, but it complements our polymer solutions business perfectly. Through the Berlin sales office, we are also looking to strengthen supply of our polymer and vibration control solutions in the European market.”
Marcus Aberg, CEO of the Dellner Bubenzer Group, added: “As Dellner and Romag are both family businesses with a skilled workforce, a 75 year history of technical innovation and a strong focus on quality and service, Romag’s customers are assured of a seamless transition.
“We are looking forward to building sustained, long-term relationships with customers and to offering them an integrated service from the Dellner companies.”
Dellner Romag Ltd will be providing a wide range of glass and glazing products to a global client base including:
• Security – bullet, fire and physical resistant glass
• Architectural – shaped, tinted, coated, toughened and structural glass for buildings
• Rail rolling stock – internal and external windows, luggage racks and partitions
• Vehicles – windscreens and vision panels
Romag Ltd was placed into administration on Monday 10 August.
The Dellner Bubenzer Group incorporates Sweden’s Dellner Brakes AB, Germany’s Pintsch Bubenzer GmbH, Italy’s Rima Srl and, in the UK, Dellner Polymer Solutions (incorporating Dellner Woodville Ltd and Dellner Silentbloc Ltd) and Dellner Romag Ltd.
