A global name in the construction supply chain, SOPREMA boasts 67 manufacturing sites around the world, more than 90 subsidiary companies and more than 4000 distributors.
NBT first joined the group in 2016 and the legal process of creating the new UK business has been in progress in the interim, drawing on synergies between SOPREMA and NBT.
“We have undergone what might be called a soft merger over the past couple of years and our customers probably haven’t noticed the difference as we’ve been going through the legal, commercial and operational process of completing the new structure,” said Andrew Mitchell from NBT/SOPREMA.
Mr Mitchell said the integration of NBT and SOPREMA meant a joined up supply chain focused on best-fit and best-practice solutions for the building envelope, benefitting specifiers, procurement professionals, contractors and end-users.
NBT’s Pavatex range of woodfibre insulation and airtightness tapes and membranes now sit alongside SOPREMA solutions, including waterproofing, roofing, solar energy, insulation and acoustics.
