"We are very pleased to welcome Firmac to Lindab. It is an excellent complement to Lindab's current business", says Ola Ringdahl, President and CEO of Lindab. "Lindab has a very strong brand in Spiro for manufacturing of circular ventilation ducts. With Firmac we get the corresponding business for rectangular ducts. We are also very happy that Genaral Manager, Simon Morrell, will stay in the company as part of Lindab."

"We look forward to being part of Lindab and, together with Spiro, offering the market's leading machines for the manufacture of ventilation ducts.", says Simon Morrell, General Manager, Firmac. "It feels safe to hand over Firmac to an owner who prioritizes high quality and good customer relations. We are convinced that Lindab will take good care of Firmac's unique competence.", says Colin Firth and Lewis Firth, founders of Firmac.

Firmac has annual sales of approximately SEK 40 m and an operating margin in line with Lindab's operating margin in business area Ventilation Systems. Firmac has 32 employees and is based in Scarborough in the UK. The acquisition is financed through own funds. Firth Sheet Metal Ltd, which is owned by the same family and operates at the same address, is not included in the acquisition.
