Italian group Arbo, which specialises in the distribution of spare parts and solutions for heating, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R), has acquired 100% of the Navarre-based company Distribuciones Suner through its Spanish subsidiary Arbo Ibérica.
Founded in 1990 by Emilio López-Davalillo, Suner has historically focused on the distribution of heating spare parts and operates branches in Pamplona, Bilbao and Madrid, establishing itself as a key player in its sector.
A strategic move to strengthen its presence in the Iberian Peninsula
According to the company, the transaction takes place against a backdrop of a changing market, where service, reliability and fast response times are critical factors. Arbo believes the acquisition will strengthen its competitive position in the Iberian market and help expand its distribution network.
Arbo Ibérica, with outlets in Madrid and Barcelona, has consolidated its growth in Spain since 2017. The integration of Suner will enable the group to double its turnover in the Peninsula and explore new growth opportunities.
Continuity of the management team and new growth opportunities
Following the acquisition, Suner will retain its current management team, led by Javier Abadía, Operations Director, and Abel Gómez, Finance Director.
From the Navarre-based company’s perspective, the partnership is presented as an opportunity to gain access to greater resources, broaden its product offering and strengthen its service capability, while maintaining its close, personalised customer care.
Arbo: over 50 years of experience and a network of 68 outlets
Headquartered in Fano (Italy), Arbo has more than half a century of experience and operates a network of 68 outlets under the Arbo and Verco Milano brands, further strengthening its position as a leading player in the HVAC/R sector.
