385 Atlas Copco, a leading international compressors, quarrying, mining and construction equipment manufacturer, is to sell its road construction equipment business.
The division, part of the Swedish giant’s construction technique business area, manufactures rollers for asphalt and soil applications, planers and pavers. These are sold under the 414 Dynapac trade name.
The decision to sell comes after Atlas Copco’s Board of Directors concluded that the road construction equipment division does not have the economies of scale to become number one or two in the market segment. Atlas Copco aims to find a better owner for the business.
The road construction equipment business includes sales and service operations in 37 countries and production units in five countries; Sweden, Germany, Brazil, India and China. It generated revenues of around MSEK 2 900 (€309 million) in 2016.
