HEIDENHEIM/LUCCA. After all required regulatory approvals were received, Voith Group successfully completed on the acquisition of Toscotec S.p.A. on April 30, 2020.

Andreas Endters, President and CEO of Voith Paper, says: “Toscotec’s acquisition matches Voith’s targets of strategic growth in a perfect way. Toscotec’s range of products and services effectively supports our portfolio and further strengthens our position as a full-line supplier in important areas of the paper industry.”
