With this acquisition, ViaCon further strengthens its leading position in the European market for corrugated steel-based civil engineering solutions, providing an even stronger platform to deliver competitive and sustainable customer solutions.
Founded in 1987, Tubosider UK is the leading manufacturer and supplier of corrugated steel solutions for stormwater management systems in the UK and Irish markets. Tubosider UK also supply products for bridges and culverts. The head office is based in St. Helens in Sutton in the UK.
The acquisition is part of ViaCon's strategy to continue its growth in Western Europe and to establish itself more firmly in the very promising sector of stormwater management. Stormwater solutions reduce the risk of, among other things, flooding due to the increasing frequency of heavy rains in Europe due to ongoing climate change. ViaCon's unique solutions based on corrugated steel structures for StormWater Solutions bring better total cost to customers while strongly supporting growing sustainability programs in all markets.
For Stefan Nordström, CEO of ViaCon: “I am very pleased with this acquisition and, going forward, we see very promising operational and commercial synergies. He will further strengthen ViaCon's StormWater Solutions business, a business we aim to expand into the very promising UK market. The acquisition also gives us a platform to grow our Bridges & Culverts Solutions business in the UK. »
