Exlabesa has announced the acquisition of French extruder Flandria Aluminium in a move that has been approved by the French Competition Commission.
The buyer says it will bring its entrepreneurial vision and investment capacity to strengthen the French company and drive its long-term growth, while Flandria will maintain a high degree of autonomy to respond most effectively to the specific needs of its market.
Flandria has a history of over 50 years and currently employs 170 workers. It specialises in the manufacture of aluminium profiles for the construction, industrial and transport segments. Its facilities, covering over 35,000 m², include two presses of ⌀ 8” and ⌀ 9” respectively. Additionally, it has an aluminium recycling plant with a melting furnace, which will allow Exlabesa to increase its low-carbon aluminium production capacity.
Exlabesa CURRENTLY operates on three continents through nine production centres in Spain, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Morocco, the United Kingdom, and the United States. From these factories, it serves nearly 15,000 customers in 40 countries. The company employs 1,800 people and produces a total of 160,000 tons of extruded profiles annually.
