TOREKOV, Sweden, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nolato has completed the acquisition of US-based GW Plastics. The company has annual sales equivalent to around SEK 1.8 billion, with an EBITA margin of around 7%. The acquisition price, including contingent consideration, is estimated at approximately SEK 2 billion. The interim report for the third quarter will provide a full acquisition analysis.
The company is being consolidated as of 1 September.
