LIEBIG Anchoring Technology set to resurface following acquisition
Most Civil and Structural Engineers with a respectable ‘mileage on the clock’ will be familiar with the LIEBIG brand and the high quality of anchoring technology associated with it. Some have expressed frustration over the brands inaccessibility in recent years, largely where to source products or acquire performance data.
The good news is that LIEBIG is alive and well and in safe hands having recently been acquired by the global fastenings manufacturer EJOT, as part of the acquisition of Finnish company, SORMAT. Add to the mix that SORMAT itself acquired LIEBIG from Simpson Strong-Tie International Inc. back in 2012, and it’s easy to spot the confusion – something management at EJOT’s UK manufacturing centre near Leeds, are keen to put right.
Robert Hardstaff is EJOT’s managing director in the UK:
“EJOT manufactures high performance fasteners for the modern building envelope. Our pedigree in terms of technical innovation is second to none and therefore, a perfect fit for LIEBIG. By combining our global knowledge base with LIEBIG’s specialist teams we will ensure that the product range is easily accessible, continues to be performance-driven, and supported by responsive technical guidance”.
