STOCKHOLM Atlas Copco has completed its acquisition of the German adhesive equipment manufacturer SCA Schucker, following all necessary governmental approvals. The company had sales of MEUR 65 (MSEK 600) in 2010 and has about 280 employees.
SCA Schucker manufactures adhesive and sealant equipment, a relatively large niche segment with few global specialized players. The market is expanding fast due to the increasing use of lightweight materials in the automotive and other industries, Atlas Copco says.
The acquired business now operates as a separate business line within Atlas Copco’s Industrial Technique business area, in the Motor Vehicle Industry division.
