Hexpol has acquired the UK based rubber compounder Berwin Group Ltd from present shareholders (Glyn Williams and his family) for approximately GBP 25 million. “The acquisition is a very good complement to Hexpol Compounding in Europe and broadens and strengthens our presence with rubber compounds in the UK market. Berwin expands our capabilities and capacities to serve our customers in a more efficient way,” said Ralph Wolkener, president, Hexpol Compounding Europe.
