Indutrade and Wavin N.V. in Zwolle, Netherlands, today signed an agreement in which Indutrade acquires the Net & Instrument division of Wavin-Labko Oy in Finland with annual sales of SEK 60 million.

The Net & Instrument division markets and sells Alarm and Measurement units, LabkoNet and Automation solutions, as well as Ice Detection units. Their customers are gas stations, airports, car parks, oil companies and water purification plants among others.

Organisationally, the Net & Instrument division will be included in the Engineering & Equipment business area, which had net sales of SEK 1,576 million in 2006.
