REHAU acquires MB Barter & Trading

The REHAU Group and MB Barter & Trading AG, two Swiss polymer companies, have agreed to a merger.

“Joining forces allows the new company to respond more quickly to changing market conditions, innovate faster, become more efficient and create higher value for not only the customers, but also for employees and stakeholders alike,” Stefan Girschik, deputy CEO at REHAU and future CEO of the newly established company, said in a statement.

The two companies expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2018, subject to customary closing conditions and approval of antitrust authorities.
