This strategic acquisition is part of Texol commitment to develop and produce innovative and specialty products, expanding the company’s hygiene applications to other markets, whilst increasing the market presence in other regions.
“Together, the two companies will produce and supply unique products taking and combining the advantages and synergies of Texol know-how, experience in technologies and products development with ORMA’s expertise and capabilities in production, logistics and market knowledge,” the company explains.
