Lemminkäinen Rakennustuotteet Oy has today signed an agreement to acquire full

The company's net sales in 2010 are estimated to be approx. EUR 1.5 million. It
employs 11 people, who will be transferred to Lemminkäinen's service as
existing employees. According to preliminary plans, the company will merge with

In connection with the acquisition, Lemminkäinen Rakennustuotteet Oy has made a
