Lifco acquires Auger Torque Group

Lifco has signed an agreement to acquire Auger Torque, a leading global
manufacturer of earth drills and other attachments for cranes and excavators.

Torque will be consolidated in Kinshofer, a part of the business area Demolition

earnings per share in current financial year.

With the acquisition, Kinshofer adds a new product segment and will get access
to an important distribution channel in especially UK, Australia, USA and China.

Auger Torque is a British family business, founded in 1998. The company has
customers in more than 70 countries and has 107 employees. Auger Torque’s major
customer group is small and mid-size contracting businesses. The largest
