The Swiss forming machinery specialist Hatebur Umformmaschinen AG has agreed to buy Carlo Salvi SpA, a cold forming machine builder based in Garlate, Italy. The two firms explained that Hatebur will buy all the shares of privately held Carlo Salvi, and that the organization’s locations and employees will continue unchanged. “The merger of Hatebur and Carlo Salvi will strengthen the positions of both companies, and is the perfect geographical market expansion,” enthused Hatebur CEO Thomas Christoffel. Hatebur specializes in designing and buildinghot andcold formingmachines,

with offices in Switzerland, China, Japan and Germany. Carlo Salvi develops and manufactures cold forming machines. It has 92 employees, operating from facilities in Italy, China, the US and UK. “Thanks to the small overlap between the product ranges, our customers will benefit from a wider range from a single source, and in particular from innovative technologies and services in the field of cold, warm and hot forming,” said Dr Sergio Ziotti, former owner and CEO of Carlo Salvi.
