Piovan's international network is broadening. Just two years after the acquisition of the US company UNA-DYN, the Italian ancillary equipment manufacturer has announced an agreement that will give it a majority share in FDM, a Germany company specialized in the production of powder dosing systems for extrusion lines.
FDM employs 25 people and this year has a turnover of 5 million euros. With this acquisition Piovan aims to exploit FDM's experience to gain a strategic position in a globally growing extrusion market, where the Italian company is seeking to strengthen its supply capacity.
