Indutrade today signed an agreement to acquire all of the shares in Svenska
Geotech AB, a niche company in the infrastructure segment with sales of
approximately SEK 40 million. Svenska Geotech imports and supplies building site
preparation and civil engineering products. The largest product groups are
bentonite, geotextiles, piping and water/wastewater products, its own Gabiola
and Geobes brands, and drainage products.
Possession will be transferred today, and the company will be part of
Indutrade’s Industrial Components business area. The acquisition is expected to
have a marginally positive impact on Indutrade’s earnings per share.
