Certech Group acquires Eurorubber Industries

The deal, signed on 23 January, strengthens Certech’s position in the field of wear-resistant rubber linings for mills

On 23 January, Certech Group (Casalgrande, Reggio Emilia) completed the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Eurorubber, a company based in Ponte Taro di Fontevivo (Parma) that was founded in 1970 and for the last 30 years has been owned by the Marangoni Group.

Eurorubber produces rubber compounds for the production of tyres, conveyor belts and components used in a wide range of sectors (mining, automotive, agricultural machinery, household appliances, etc.).

Equipped with an R&D laboratory, a post-production quality control laboratory and two production lines with large capacity Banbury mixers, Eurorubber is able to produce over 10,000 tons/year of NR, SBR, EPDM, NBR, CR, and AEM compounds. It has over 60 qualified employees and occupies a covered area of 10,000 square metres on a total site area of 30,000 square metres. Certech Group Chairman Alberto Palladini (pictured together with Vittorio Marangoni) expressed his satisfaction: “This acquisition will enable us to gain complete control of the production cycle for wear-resistant rubber mill linings, thereby guaranteeing excellent product quality with process control from raw material production through to installation. As a rubber compound manufacturer, we will also have a high degree of production versatility and the opportunity to develop new types of products for our core business sector.”
