Last month, a family investment group in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, acquired all controlling interests in the European operations of Propex Operating Company LLC and renamed the company Propex Furnishing Solutions. Their agreement, which included the rights to purchase the furnishings business in the U.S., was exercised at the end of April and finalized before the new month started.
The investors see many positive synergies with its current portfolio and core business expertise and will look for ways to exploit these synergies including further investments in facilities and capabilities to support future growth of all businesses.
Robert Dahl, who was named the new CEO of Propex Furnishing Solutions during the European acquisition, will lead the combined European and U.S. entities under the Propex Furnishing Solutions moniker. His previous role with Propex Operating Company as the vice president of the industrial packaging and GeoSolutions businesses should provide a quick transition and allow Propex Furnishing Solutions to quickly enact key strategies, investments and initiatives.
Dahl has a history of transforming industries by creating superior, collaborative and mutually beneficial cultures among customers, vendors, industry leaders, associations and other key influencers in the marketplace.
