Schweiter技術拓展其3A復合材料展示業務
Schweiter技術公司正在進一步加強其顯示業務，并簽署了一項協議，收購Lucite International(Lucite丙烯酸板)和英國分銷公司Perspex分發(PDL)的歐洲亞克力板業務。
在2018年3月31日終了的財政年度，被收購的業務創造了約1.26億英鎊的銷售額。這些企業商定的企業價值(在無現金/免債務的基礎上)為9200萬英鎊。交易將在有關競爭主管機構批準后完成，并將生產活動分割成一個新的法律實體。
Lucite丙烯酸板材是歐洲的丙烯酸板材和復合材料制造商之一，總部設在英國蘭開夏郡的達文。盧西特丙烯酸板主要生產兩大類丙烯酸板，Perspex通用板和Lucite療養品板。Perspex單張用于顯示器、視覺通信和相關行業，并通過分銷網絡銷售，其中包括英國的PDL，以及歐洲大陸、非洲和其他地區的其他長期合作伙伴。Perspex產品系列是行業中廣泛的產品之一，Perspex品牌是丙烯酸板材產品的品牌之一。Perspex的生產設施、產品范圍和客戶關系將完全補充現有的3A復合材料壓克力板業務，該業務建立在法國、斯洛伐克和西班牙的克里昂、阿克倫和Crylux產品系列的基礎上。
PDL業務向來自5個分支機構的顯示和通信行業的英國客戶提供全面的分銷服務，除Perspex腈綸片外，還提供一系列補充產品。
3A復合材料公司通過將Athlone Extrusions(2017)和Polycasa(2015)整合，成功地在亞克力板材中建立了視覺傳達、室內設計、工業應用和衛生潔具行業的地位。收購Lucite丙烯酸薄板將進一步加強3A復合材料的產品范圍。收購后的企業共有約330名員工。
3A復合材料公司預計，將Lucite丙烯酸板納入3A復合材料部門專門的多產品板活動將為在英國以外地區進一步開發和擴展產品帶來重大機會。
原文如下： Schweiter Technologies is further strengthening its display business and has entered into an agreement to acquire the European acrylic sheet business of Lucite International (Lucite Acrylic Sheet) and the UK distribution company Perspex Distribution (PDL).
In the financial year ended 31 March 2018 the acquired business generated sales of around GBP 126 million. The agreed enterprise value for the businesses (on a cash free/debt free basis) is GBP 92 million. The transaction will be completed following approval by the relevant competition authorities and the carve-out of the production activities into a new legal entity.
Lucite Acrylic Sheet is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of acrylic sheet and composites and is based in Darwen, Lancashire, UK. Lucite Acrylic Sheet manufactures two major categories of acrylic sheets, Perspex general purpose sheets and Lucite saniware sheets. Perspex sheets are used by customers in the display, visual communication and related industries and are sold through a distribution network including PDL in the UK, and other long established partners in Continental Europe, Africa and other regions. The Perspex product range is one of the widest in the industry and the Perspex brand name is one of the leading global brand names for acrylic sheet products. The Perspex production facilities, product range and customer relationships will fully complement the existing 3A Composites acrylic sheet business based on the Crylon, Akrylon and Crylux product families with production facilities in Germany, Slovakia and Spain.
The PDL business provides a full distribution service to UK based customers in the display and communication industries from 5 branches and offers a range of complementary products in addition to Perspex acrylic sheets.
3A Composites has successfully established a position in acrylic sheets for visual communication, interior design, industrial applications and the sanitary ware industry through the integration of Athlone Extrusions (2017) and Polycasa (2015). The acquisition of Lucite Acrylic Sheets will further strengthen the 3A Composites product range. The acquired business has a total of around 330 employees.
3A Composites anticipates that the incorporation of Lucite Acrylic Sheets into the dedicated multi product sheet activities of the 3A Composites division will lead to significant opportunities for further product development and expansion outside the UK.
