Kito acquires Van Leusden

Kito Corporation has acquired the shares of Netherlands company Van Leusden through Kito Europe GmbH, making Van Leusden a wholly owned subsidiary of Kito.

Van Leusden operates mainly in Europe, specialising in customisation technology, particularly anti-corrosion treatment of mainly manually operated hoists, trolleys, cranes and crane components for maritime and other offshore use, and spark-proof treatment for applications in environments with high risk of explosion. By adding these high-value-added products to its lines, Kito benefits from synergistic effects in terms of both regional and product strategies.
