HEXPOL completes the acquisition of Vipa Group
As announced July 31 HEXPOL has signed an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares in the Italian company Vipa Group. The company was founded in 1969 by the Paolini family who have since then developed the business into one of Europe's leading developers and manufacturers of high-quality thermoplastic compounds with focus on the fast-growing Wire & Cable segment with above market profitability.
