Groupe Rondot has acquired the German manufacturer of glass plant cooling systems, LWN.
With the acquisition of the German company LWN last week, Rondot said it was bringing an additional technological building block to its glassmaking customers, helping them better manage their energy consumption.
Groupe Rondot is based in Champagne-au-Mont-d'Or, near Lyon in France and provides a variety of engineering services to the container glass industry around the world.
It said the strategic move reflects its commitment to consolidating its technological know-how and enhancing the energy efficiency of its solutions.
Founded and based in Germany, LWN has developed mould cooling systems for several years, aimed at optimising quality and productivity in glass manufacturing processes.
Raphael Constantin, Chairman of Rondot Group, said: "The integration of LWN into the group marks a significant milestone in our growth strategy.
"Together, we will be able to offer our customers comprehensive solutions combining increased productivity, energy efficiency, and optimized production quality."
The synergies between Rondot Group and LWN will enable the development of even more efficient industrial solutions, addressing the sustainability and energy efficiency challenges currently facing the glass sector.
The combined entity will achieve a consolidated turnover exceeding €100 million, demonstrating Rondot Group’s strength and ambition in the international market.
