Master Builders Solutions Announces Acquisition of Adril Traders S.L. – a top PP fiber supplier for the Pan European Market
Mannheim, Germany – May 2024 – Master Builders Solutions, a renowned global leader in innovative concrete admixtures and solutions for the construction industry, today announced the definitive agreement and simultaneous closing of the acquisition of Adril Traders S.L., one of its key suppliers of polypropylene fibers for concrete reinforcement in the Pan-European construction market. Adril Traders S.L. is located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Barcelona, Spain and was founded by the Caldú Llopart family.
PP fibers in concrete reinforcement improve the ductility and lifespan of construction materials whilst reducing carbon emissions, corrosion risk, construction time, and costs. These factors make Adril’s PP fiber-reinforced concrete a safer and more sustainable alternative to the traditional steel reinforcement.
Dr. Boris Gorella, CEO of Master Builders Solutions, said: "We are excited to welcome Adril Traders and its team to Master Builders Solutions. This investment will further strengthen the company’s capabilities and reaffirm our continued commitment to serve European customers with innovative solutions to enhance the durability, flexibility, and environmental responsibility of modern infrastructure projects.”
Jordi Caldú, Head of Adril Traders, said: "The PP fiber industry today is rapidly evolving to meet the demands of sustainable construction practices. With this move, we will increase our scale and capacity to continue to meet those demands.”
Luis Mendoza, Head of Master Builders Solutions Southern European Cluster, said: "This is a very good fit for both companies. We’ve had a long-standing business relationship with Adril Traders and their values align closely with ours. Together, we're poised to achieve even greater success in the market."
The acquisition of Adril Traders S.L. is a key step of Master Builders Solutions in the execution of its Growth & Expansion strategies, fortifying its portfolio of innovative sustainable solutions and affirming its dedication to serving customers worldwide with excellence.
