ASSA ABLOY buys Brazilian door-systems maker Rometal

ASSA ABLOY has agreed to acquire Rometal, a manufacturer of aluminum interior door systems, cabinet doors, frames and pullers based in Veranópolis, Brazil, with about 500 employees. Rometal's 2025 sales were about BRL 332 million (roughly SEK 580 million) with a strong EBIT margin. Terms were not disclosed, and the deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

Why it matters: ASSA ABLOY says the deal advances its strategy of strengthening its position in emerging markets with complementary products, and expects it to add to EPS from the start.
