SOLIDUS Solutions has acquired MÖLLE GmbH, the German and Polish producer of partitions and inserts. The acquisition, which was completed on 5th August, signifies a strategic investment to integrate and broaden the product portfolio of Solidus Solutions.
The company was acquired from Ernst & Cie. Klaus Eckert will join the Solidus Group and will continue to lead Mölle GmbH as Managing Director.
Mölle is situated in Kastellaun, Germany and Gliwice, Poland and is one of the leading producers of partitions and inserts in north-western Europe. The company processes an average production volume of 5,000 tons per year to their main end markets – glass, packaging, pharma and beverage. A significant amount of their partitions and inserts are produced from solid board due to the strength characteristics and logistical advantages. The Solidus Solutions mills in the Netherlands will supply the majority of the board volume after the integration of Mölle is fully completed.
“This strategic acquisition will enable Solidus Solutions to take another important step in the vertical integration within the European Group,” said Dieter Bergner, CEO, Solidus Solutions. “We are looking forward to further optimising our service to customers, offering a broader product portfolio and strengthening our leading position in the solid board industry in Europe.”
