From 1st November 2024, the company SI. COP Etanco Srl, also known as Etanco Italia, will be incorporated into Friulsider SpA.
The merger is one of the natural consequences of the acquisition of the French Etanco Group, by the American multinational company Simpson Strong-Tie, which took place in 2022. It is part of a series of synergies implemented in order to consolidate the Group’s presence in Europe.
Friulsider’s production and logistics spaces have recently been strengthened, to support growth and accommodate the Etanco business unit, optimising flows and management, while the commercial offices and the operational headquarters will remain in Milan to ensure continuity of service to customers.
SI. COP Etanco is the Italian branch of Etanco Group, specialised in the sector of fixings and accessories for ventilated roofs and façades since 1952. The Etanco business, unlike Friulsider, provides a direct sales model and strong support on the design side. The Group serves over 18,000 customers distributed in more than 50 countries worldwide, generating a turnover of €260 million per year.
