HT TROPLAST
Merger in window profiles with KBE
In what is officially being called a merger, HT Troplast AG (D-53839 Troisdorf) is acquiring KBE Kunststoffproduktion GmbH (PO Box 1567, D-66748 Dillingen). HT, subsidiary of Rütgers AG (D-45031 Essen), said the move is a step towards its goal of achieving a leading position in the European market for plastic window profiles. Certainly, it is a further step in the ongoing consolidation process in the profiles sector. Even before the latest merger, some 30% of the market was controlled by the ten largest players. The leading European producers are Veka, Kömmerling and Deceuninck.
