Lindab moves to acquire CCL
Lindab, which specialises in circular-duct systems, has agreed to acquire CCL Veloduct, a leading UK supplier of ventilation and air-movement products.

Lindab currently has 12 branches in the UK and one factory. CCL, founded in 1986, has three factories and a national distribution network of 22 branches. Lindab plans to combines its UK ventilation business with CCL Veloduct to strengthen its offering to the ventilation industry. A new management team with representatives from both companies will be formed to assume responsibility for the new company.
