As part of the development of its vertical integration strategy, in order to better serve the market and establish its credibility, A2S has taken an 11% stake in the capital of the manufacturer FONTECK INDUSTRIES BV . Based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the company specializes in explosion-proof equipment, a growing niche, where A2S wishes to take a full and complete part in product development.
"This industrial cooperation should allow A2S to increase its value creation while remaining focused on its core business," explains Nicolas Sevestre, manager of A2S. As a result of this partnership, synergies between the two companies were quickly established. In terms of R&D, two areas are prioritized, namely, Communication, Electrical Connection Equipment, HVAC systems and components, and Motors . In terms of commercial strategy, new FONTECK products will soon be launched on the market by A2S.
