Atlas Copco, the Swedish compressors, construction and mining equipment, maker is to sell its road construction equipment division.
The division, part of the construction technique business area, manufactures rollers for asphalt and soil applications, planers and pavers. The products are known under the Dynapac trade name.
The reason for the sale is that the division does not have the economies of scale to become number one or two in this market segment. Atlas Copco aims to find a better owner for the business.
The business includes sales and service operations in 37 countries and production units in five countries; Sweden, Germany, Brazil, India and China.
