CONTINENTAL have acquired conveyor and maintenance company Vulk & Montage, one of the leading service providers for the conveyor industry in central Sweden, for an undisclosed sum.

Their operations will be integrated into Continental’s Conveying Solutions business area, a leader in conveying and off-highway solutions worldwide.
‘With Vulk & Montage Group, we are able to offer an entire service and solution package in addition to the current Continental product portfolio to our industrial customers in central Sweden. The acquisition underscores again our goal of further expanding our service business directly with our customers and aligning our focus accordingly,’ explained Song Qi, who is responsible for global business with conveyor belt system solutions at Continental.
