LEMMINKÄINEN ACQUIRES SPECIALIST ROAD SURFACE MILLING COMPANY IN DENMARK

On 2 May 2013, Lemminkäinen acquired an 80 per cent holding in the Danish company FD-Entreprise. Frank Daugard, the company's founder and former owner, retains the remaining 20 per cent and will continue as managing director. The parties have agreed not to disclose the contract price.

FD-Entreprise was established in 2006 and specialises in the milling of asphalt and concrete road surfaces. The company's net sales in 2012 were EUR 3.4 million. The company primarily operates in eastern Denmark, where it is the largest player.

The acquired company will be merged into Lemminkäinen's Danish subsidiary during 2017.
