PRESS RELEASE: STAINLESS ACQUIRES THE GERMAN COMPANY FRÜCHTL-KRONOS AND STRENGTHENS INTERNATIONALLY A milestone for both companies On June 20, 2016, STAINLESS, an international player in the high performance metal alloys sector, signed an agreement for the acquisition of FRÜCHTL-KRONOS GmbH & Co. KG, a German company, itself specialized in steels specials. Two players recognized in their respective markets, a strategic complementarity Founded in 1972, the FRÜCHTL company is based in Esslingen am Neckar (Baden-Württemberg), on the outskirts of Stuttgart. From a local player, FRÜCHTL has today become a major international distributor of special alloys intended for the automotive, mechanical industry and medical markets. The company has a large machine park which enables it to offer "made-to-measure" cuts. Founded in 1928, STAINLESS is positioned as one of the leaders in high performance metal alloys, intended for the most demanding markets. Its range of products is distributed worldwide from its platform in Dannemarie-sur-Crète (company headquarters). It ranges from stainless steels, cobalt chrome and titanium for the medical market, to copper alloys and superalloys for aeronautics and microtechnology. The pursuit of an international development policy The acquisition of FRÜCHTL comes eight months after the takeover by STAINLESS of the activities of the company HEPTAL (Paris), strongly positioned on the Titanium market, and whose activities were recently relocated to Franche-Comté. Today, this external growth in Germany is part of a logic of consolidation on the market for high performance alloys. With FRÜCHTL, STAINLESS is further expanding its product range and strengthening its international distribution capabilities. The new group will total a workforce of 50 people and a stock of over 1,000 tonnes. It will achieve a turnover of 35 million distributed over different sectors such as medical, automotive, aeronautics, energy and microtechnology, with a constant objective: to better serve its markets, better support its customers.
