The consortium is led by the businessman Xabier Blanco after the divestment he made last year in STI Norland. Pablo Landa, former deputy general manager of the aforementioned company, also participates in it as a founder. Their first decision has been to acquire a majority stake in Ega Perfil, a company with a turnover of 40 million euros last year and in which they will implement an ambitious “growth and internationalisation” programme. They also plan to expand their Villatuerta facilities “significantly”.<\/p>\n
The Navarrese group Amixalan announced that it has acquired a majority stake in Ega Perfil, a Villatuerta-based company which employs around fifty people and had a turnover of 40 million euros last year. In fact, this company is one of the main national suppliers of metal profiles for construction and agriculture. For this reason, Amixalan announced that it intends to “significantly” expand its facilities in order to tackle an ambitious “growth and internationalisation” programme.<\/p>\n
The consultancy firm E&Y was in charge of carrying out the due diligence and participating in the operation as legal advisor to the purchaser. Norgesti\u00f3n, meanwhile, was responsible for carrying out the financial and legal advice to the seller.<\/p>\n
Aximalan, in this sense, is a consortium led by the businessman Xabier Baron, after the divestment he made last year in STI Norland. Pablo Landa, former deputy general manager of the aforementioned company, also participates in it as a founder. From there, its purpose with this new project is “to become a large business group made up of leading companies in various strategic sectors and with a great future projection”, they said. To this end, its growth strategy will be based on two key values: sustainability and balance.<\/p>\n
Once the acquisition has been completed, the founder of Ega Perfil in 2006, Jos\u00e9 Luis Guibert, valued it positively as it will strengthen its position within the sectors in which it currently works and will also help them “to diversify their product”. While Xabier Bar\u00f3n was confident of being able to face “a new stage of growth and internationalisation” supported by the proven technical capabilities that his group has to develop new products in other types of sectors.<\/p>\n
