Novoferm is consistently expanding its position as one of the
leading European system suppliers of door solutions and docking
systems: With the acquisition of the Swedish company Robust AB, the
Novoferm Group has taken over one of the leading steel door
manufacturers in Scandinavia and Great Britain and strengthens its
position in both markets sustainably. The acquisition of 100 percent
of the company shares of Robust AB was agreed in the middle of May.

Robust AB, based in Nykroppa, has production facilities in
Nykroppa, Sweden and Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, UK. The company employs
175 people and is specialized in manufacturing of fire protection,
multifunctional and security steel hinged doors for the industrial
and commercial market segments. The experienced management team under
the leadership of the Managing Director David Lycett will continue to
lead the company and ensure its successful development.

The acquisition is an important step in the continuous expansion
of the Novoferm Group's Europe-wide activities. The Robust AB Group
has grown significantly in recent years and has steadily expanded its
steel hinged door business. Therewith Robust has positioned itself as
a leading manufacturer in the British and Scandinavian markets.
Rainer Schackmann, CEO of the Novoferm Group, is pleased with the
acquisition and sees Robust and Novoferm as an ideal complement:
"Both companies complement each other strategically, in an ideal way.
The combination of these strengths will drive future growth and
significantly increase our presence in Northern Europe." Through the
acquisition and the corresponding expanded range of products and
services, Novoferm is visibly strengthening its international
position and consistently pursuing its future-oriented growth
strategy. Following the acquisition of Robust AB, the Novoferm Group
now employs over 3,000 people in Europe.
