Lindab acquires the Swedish roof manufacturer Profilplåt
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindab strengthens its market position in northern Sweden with the acquisition of Profilplåt i Sverige AB, which mainly manufactures and sells sheet metal roofs and walls.
Profilplåt complements Lindab's current production very well with its high-quality products in the same area. With Profilplåt, Lindab also gets access to expertise and expanded customer contacts in northern Sweden.

We share Lindab's view of what is important in terms of product quality and customer relations and look forward to taking Profilplåt to the next level as part of Lindab", says Robert Johansson, Managing Director of Profilplåt.
