Wienerberger: The Wienerberger Group, a supplier of sustainable building materials and infrastructure solutions, is pleased to announce two recent acquisitions in Northern Europe: Komproment ApS and Strøjer Group. Both businesses provide sustainable façade solutions and will add approx. €50 million in revenue and 131 new colleagues at two locations to Wienerberger’s business. Heimo Scheuch, CEO of Wienerberger AG explained, “The two acquisitions mark the next step in Wienerberger’s bolt-on acquisition strategy, reinforcing our position as a supplier of complete façade solutions in Northern Europe. Komproment ApS and Strøjer Group are both excellent companies with sustainable product portfolios for the new build and renovation markets and will enable us to strengthen our presence in the field of ecological and sustainable construction in the region. The Nordics are an attractive area for investment with high disposable incomes, stable business frameworks and ambitious ESG agendas. Their addition enhances our own portfolio and expands our offer of full-range solutions for our customers from the building envelope to infrastructure and creates a strong industrial platform.”

RHI Magnesita: Refractory company RHI Magnesita reported a revenue increase of 30% to €3.3 billion in 2022. Adjusted EBITA increased 37% to €384 million (2021: €280 million) with margins stable at 11.6% (2021: 11.7%) despite significant cost increases in energy, raw materials and freight with margin resilience supported by benefits from the Production Optimisation Plan. Commenting on the results, Stefan Borgas, CEO RHI Magnesita, said: “In 2022 we demonstrated the benefits of focusing on our customers, as the investment we made in higher working capital enabled us to both gain market share and increase prices, adding around €600 million to revenues as higher costs were passed on. I am pleased to report growing progress on our M&A strategy with acquisitions in India, China, Türkiye and Europe agreed or completed during the year. Whilst the outlook for 2023 is more uncertain than prior years due to slowing demand for refractories and softer pricing in certain regions, RHI Magnesita is able to face these challenges in a much stronger condition as a result of the implementation of its strategic cost savings and sales strategies over the past four years.”
