“This is a good conclusion to Handelsbanken’s involvement in Plastal,” said Handel och Industri, chief executive, Magnus Sternbrink.
“The company will be part of a strong industrial group where [it] can continue to develop its business.”
Plastal manufactures injection-moulded and painted plastic parts for the automotive industry.
The company has four plants: two in Sweden, one in Norway and one in Belgium. The Plasman Group is a supplier of products such as injection-moulded and painted plastic to the automotive sector.
The Group is based in Windsor, Canada, and has a total of 11 plants in Canada, the US and Mexico.
