Aspo's subsidiary Telko expands its operations further via a strategic
acquisition in Germany
Aspo's subsidiary Telko expands its plastics business to Western Europe through
an acquisition of Polyma Kunststoffe GmbH & Co KG in Hamburg, Germany. The
acquired company is a distributor of well-known engineering plastics. The
acquisition provides Telko access to the German market, which is the biggest
plastics market in Europe.
"The transaction strengthens our engineering plastics business and opens new
markets for Telko in Germany and neighboring countries. This is yet another step
of Telko's compounder strategy, which focuses on high value-added products and
further growth towards our 8 % EBITA target," says Mikko Pasanen, Managing
Director of Telko.
"With this acquisition, Telko is taking further steps to become a leading
European player in the distribution of specialty products," says Rolf Jansson,
CEO of Aspo Group.
The company's profitability has fluctuated between EUR 0.3 million and EUR 0.8
million in recent years. In 2024 net sales is expected to reach EUR 15 million
and EBIT EUR 0.5 million. Telko's strong supplier relationships and customer
expertise combined with Polyma's buisness portfolio create the prerequisites for
significant business development. The current CEO Alexander Maul will remain as
the company's CEO.
Telko aims to accelerate its growth through acquisitions to achieve its
strategic goals across all three business areas, and it has a solid pipeline of
potential acquisition candidates. The company remains confident in its ability
to keep up the active M&A pace. Additionally, Telko will seek to strengthen its
market share in existing markets through organic growth.
