Sapa has already established a manufacturing plant for extrusion based thermal management applications in Bangalore, and the transaction with Alufit will allow Sapa to expand its business in India.

“We expect strong growth in the quickly developing Indian market. Customers are increasingly demanding higher quality and more complex solutions, which Sapa will be able to supply”, said Johan Menckel, Business Area President.
