Purso acquired the subsidiary Nedal Aluminium from the listed Dutch company Hunter Douglas in year 2019. With its 2 extrusion aluminium lines in Nokia, the company had reached its full production capacity for a while and was looking for shareholders. “Besides doubling our production capacity, this transaction helps us strengthen and expand our market reach significantly towards Central Europe in accordance with our strategy,” says Jussi Aro, CEO of Purso Oy, summing up the benefits of the transaction. As a niche player Nedal has a strong reputation in the field of large, heavy, lengthier, and more complex extrusions in a variety of uncommon alloys. “Domestic production will not be moved to the Netherlands through the transaction. Our factories in Finland are known for very refined further processing, so it is entirely possible that aluminium profiles manufactured by Nedal in the Netherlands will also be processed in Finland in the future,” Jussi Aro adds.

The total turnover of Purso Group was approximately 250M€ year 2022, and the number of staff was 550.
