Aalberts announces successful regulatory approval, finalising the acquisition of Paulo Products Company, operating five facilities in the USA and one in Mexico, generating an annual revenue of approximately USD 105 million with 522 employees.

We are excited to welcome our Paulo colleagues to the Aalberts group.
