Comments from Conny Ryk, CEO of Vestum:
Today we welcome the LTI Group to Vestum! The LTI Group is a highly profitable fast-growing insulation group located on the West Coast, which over the past three years has generated an average annual growth rate of 19% with an average EBITA margin of 17%. The Group is our third acquisition in technical insulation and our second in the Gothenburg area. We have identified clear synergies in both the short and medium term between the LTI Group and other insulation companies within Vestum and we believe that together with the LTI Group's founder and CEO, Mats Johansson, we can continue to develop the companies and consolidate the industry, says Conny Ryk, CEO of Vestum.
