Nordic Capital acquired Luvata in 2005 from Outokumpu Oyj, and the Group has evolved from a fabrication-based business to a solutions-driven company, earning leadership positions in many of the industries it serves today. The sale of the North American Tubes operations to Waybill USA Inc., together with the divestments in the last 18 months of other Luvata divisions as separate entities to Mitsubishi Materials Corporation, Modine Manfacturing Company, and Zhejiang Hailiang Co. Ltd, completes the sale of Luvata Group.

The parties have agreed not to disclose the financial terms of the transaction.
