Vimelco sales manager Mika Lampinen said: ‘The addition of MDS to our portfolio of businesses will bolster our growth and improve our product offering. The business has been well managed, is on a terrific growth trajectory, and its heavy-duty trommels address a gap in our own product lines while also having a lot of synergy with what we already manufacture and distribute. We look forward to working with the MDS team and receiving our first M413 unit in June.’
