Benoît Hennaut, Chairman of the Executive Board of HERIGE Group, said: “The signing of this agreement is a strategic decision aimed at maximizing value creation for HERIGE. By focusing on strengthening our developments in joinery and industrial concrete, we aim to consolidate our position in these fields. This is why, over the past three years, we have focused on the Group's industrial development, making several acquisitions in this sector. We want to focus on businesses where we can demonstrate leadership thanks to our products, our innovations and our CSR approach.
This transaction between our two century-old family businesses offers us all tremendous development opportunities.
Lastly, I would like to extend my warmest thanks to all the Building Materials Trading teams for their hard work in creating a major player in the field.”
