Davis-Standard to acquire Italian coiler manufacturer

Davis-Standard, a global leader in extrusion equipment, announced it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire FB Balzanelli S.p.A., a manufacturer of automatic and semi-automatic coilers serving the global pipe and tube market.

Headquartered in Milan with manufacturing operations in Fano, Italy and an aftermarket sales office in Tennessee, U.S., FB Balzanelli is widely recognized as a global leader in coiler technology.

“This acquisition strengthens our end-to-end extrusion solutions and establishes a dedicated coiler center of excellence in Italy.”
