Victaulic, the Forks Township mechanical pipe joining manufacturer, announced Thursday that it has acquired Spanish company Arumani, a modular construction and mechanical assembly company.
Victaulic said the deal will expand its ability to deliver fully engineered modular skids — self-contained industrial systems — across Europe, helping to speed up project timelines, boost construction efficiency, and minimize on-site labor through advanced off-site fabrication.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“The future of construction belongs to those willing to rethink how things are built,” said Rick Bucher, president and CEO at Victaulic. “By integrating Arumani’s advanced modular construction expertise with Victaulic’s proven engineering excellence and innovative products, we are now uniquely positioned to enhance project efficiency, accelerate timelines, and set new benchmarks for construction certainty for our European customers.
“Together, we are even better equipped to deliver innovative solutions for the world’s most complex projects and push the boundaries of what’s possible for our customers and the industry,” he said.
Branden Kotyk, vice president and general manager for EMEA at Victaulic, said modularization is transforming the construction industry and acquiring Arumani “allows us to bring a different approach to the market by combining the innovative build strategies that Arumani is known for with the engineering excellence and reliability that define Victaulic.”
Arumani, a family-founded mechanical assemblies company in Castellon, Spain, will now serve as Victaulic’s European center of excellence for modular construction, supporting key industry sectors with design for manufacturing and assembly strategies, improving project certainty, reducing risk and enhancing overall efficiency.
The acquisition marks Victaulic’s third investment in Europe over the last three years.
Victaulic has more than 6,000 employees and 50 facilities worldwide, with construction industry customers in more than 140 countries.
