Hennecke will be in control of OMS Group with all its affiliates by the end of the year. OMS's top managers Enrico Lombardini and Dr. Andrea Mariani are to retain their positions in the united group after settling all the legal formalities.
This accession will unite two top of the line polyurethane machine-builders consolidating their technological competence and market expertise. As Hennecke and OMS product ranges augment each other's economic potentials, the combined market share will grow.
The global demand for polyurethane is going up and both the leadership teams believe that their "redoubled" efforts will ensure successful expansion. The shared optimism is evident in the fact that no job reduction is planned after the deal is closed and all the facilities will remain operational.
