The three companies operate production facilities in the Netherlands and Norway and will be integrated into the Fundermax Group with approximately 50 employees.
ST. VEIT. Gernot Schöbitz, Managing Director and company spokesman of Fundermax: “From the acquisition we expect a broader product portfolio, further service improvements and shorter supply chains.
