The
Group will concentrate its merchanting activity in its domestic markets in
Southern Europe.
As of 10 December 2013, Lecta, the second largest coated woodfree paper
manufacturer in Europe and the market leader in the sale and distribution of
paper and print substrates for the graphic arts industry in Southern Europe,
has finalized the sale of its distributor in Argentina to the Tecnomax group in
Uruguay.
With extensive experience in the merchanting market through its own
distributors and through the acquisition of the Italian merchant Polyedra in
2012, Lecta has decided to focus its merchanting business on the Group’s key
strategic markets where it also has manufacturing facilities – Italy, France
and Spain – as well as Portugal, thus strengthening its position as a leader in
the Southern European market.
The new distributor will continue to operate short-term under the Torraspapel
Argentina name and will continue to supply Lecta products to the Argentinean
market.
