"Precision Products fits well in to our strategy of acquiring niche companies with a high level of technical expertise and building clusters," says Johnny Alvarsson, President and CEO of Indutrade. "The company will be included in a cluster together with the spring manufacturers Spinova and Carrab Industri.
Organisationally, Precision Products will be part of the Special Products business area, which had net sales of SEK 1,094 million.
