Hörmann opens door to Finnish deal
Coalville-based industrial and domestic door manufacturer Hörmann has bought of its largest dealer in Finland.
Located in Jorvas, near Helsinki, Mesvac Oy had exclusively been selling industrial doors and loading bay technology from Hörmann since 2003 and also provided the associated service and maintenance. The company was originally part of the Brandt Group.
The deal follows the Brandt Group’s decision to discontinue this business sector.
Christoph Hörmann, partner of Hörmann KG, said: “Being the largest sales partner in an attractive market such as Finland, it was the right decision for us to acquire Mesvac. We have collaborated very successfully over the past few years and I am very certain that we can learn a lot from each other to become even stronger.”
The Mesvac company, which has an annual turnover of €27m, will continue to trade in the Finnish market under its name and familiar structure. All 160 employees will keep their jobs and the management will remain unchanged.
