EXLABESA announces the acquisition of the French extrusion company FLANDRIA ALUMINIUM

EXLABESA announces the acquisition of FLANDRIA ALUMINIUM, a French company specialised in the extrusion, machining, surface treatment and recycling of aluminium profiles. The recently signed agreement has passed the legal validation process by the competent authorities and has been approved by the French Competition Commission.

This takeover, which is part of EXLABESA’s international expansion strategy, will strengthen its direct presence in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, allowing the company to offer high value-added products with the highest level of service in these markets.

The two companies, both of family origin, share identical values and the same passion for the aluminium industry, which provides a strong foundation for a successful and long-lasting collaboration. EXLABESA will bring its entrepreneurial vision and investment capacity to strengthen the French company and drive its long-term growth. At the same time, FLANDRIA will maintain a high degree of autonomy to respond most effectively to the specific needs of its market.

FLANDRIA ALUMINIUM, based in Warneton (French Nord department), has a history of over 50 years and currently employs 170 workers. It specialises in the manufacture of aluminium profiles for the construction, industrial and transport segments. Its facilities, covering over 35,000 m², include two presses of ⌀ 8” and ⌀ 9” respectively. Additionally, it has an aluminium recycling plant with a melting furnace, which will allow EXLABESA to increase its low-carbon aluminum production capacity.

EXLABESA is a multinational company with an important history marked by sustained growth and responsible management. Through its commitment to long-term consolidation and unique production capabilities, the company has positioned itself as a global leader in the production of high-value aluminium profiles for the most demanding industrial sectors.

Currently, it operates on three continents through nine production centers strategically located in Spain, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Morocco, the United Kingdom, and the United States. From these factories, it serves nearly 15,000 customers in 40 countries. The company employs 1,800 people and produces a total of 160,000 tons of extruded profiles annually.
