Lindab advances on the German construction market

Lindab has opened its first branch for building and roofing products in Nuremberg in Southern Germany, with plans to open additional branches over the next few years.

Lindab has operated in Germany for many years within the Ventilation and Building Systems business areas. Previously, the Building Components business area has only been represented in Northern Germany, with sales administrated via Denmark. In order to extend sales of building products to Southern Germany as well, Lindab will be making use of the existing branch network for ventilation products.

President and CEO David Brodetsky commented: "Southern Germany is a very interesting market where we can use our present branch network to sell building products cost effectively. Lindab is already a well-known brand in Germany and we believe that our complete roofing solutions have good sales potential in this market."
