Market expansion with enormous potential

With a focus on industrial trade products and precision abrasives, Tyrolit aims to diversify its offerings and cater to a wider range of customer needs. The Group envisions substantial market growth and expansion through the majority shareholding in ATS. The existing management's extensive expertise positions ATS as a key player for forward integration. The acquisition also facilitates synergies, leveraging ATS' infrastructure for upscaling and providing access to approximately 500 new customers, who can now access Tyrolit's extensive product portfolio. Simon Parkinson, managing director of ATS says: “We are really excited about the opportunities this presents for us as a company but even more so for our customers, who will benefit immensely of the expansion and the synergies.”
