Recent acquisitions, Pizarras Gallegas (December 2020), Proinor (February 2021) and Rinus Roofing (March 2021), have expanded its presence and continue its growth trajectory, which have broadened Cupa’s offering and increased its international footprint.
Javier Fernández, CEO of Cupa Group, said: «In recent years we have made tremendous progress strengthening our product range and expanded our international footprint, as we have brought specialist roofing products businesses into the Cupa family. This has created a business of real scale as the leader in the production of natural slates for a variety of building applications. We are excited to support these numerous growth opportunities across our divisions».
