Piovan Group acquires a selection of assets of German competitor Protec Polymer Processing GmbH, an international supplier of systems for the plastics industry, currently in receivership.
The transaction involves certain assets previously belonging to material handling, dosing and Recycling divisions - markets where the Piovan Group itself operates and is world leader in the production of systems for automating production processes with plastic, recycled plastic and bio-plastic materials.
The transaction will take place through the controlled FDM with the triple purpose of: increasing the Service/post-sale activities, offering customers upgrades and retrofits of old Protec systems with new Piovan Group solutions, and supporting joint customers in the difficult situation caused by the bankruptcy proceedings of ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH.
Piovan Group will also supply Protec’s solutions in the recycling field, such as plastic regeneration and crystallization.
In line with the group strategy the transaction strengthens the Piovan Group's presence in the German market and in the key strategic segment of after sales services.
