From Italian company to pan-European flue systems group
The Pavia-area hub becomes the operational and digital nerve centre of a 500-strong workforce.
At a time when many companies talk about internationalisation, Expo Inox is putting it into practice — and on a significant scale. Over the past three years, the company, a leading manufacturer of flue systems for residential, industrial and commercial applications, has carried out a European expansion strategy few can match in the sector.
The strategy is clear: grow through targeted acquisitions, preserving local expertise while centralising coordination, technology and vision.
Four strategic moves across three countries
lready established in France and Turkey through its two Tubest brands, Expo Inox has expanded its presence in the United Kingdom with the acquisition of A1 Flues System, based in Nottingham and a long-standing name in the British industrial flue systems market.
Germany came next, with the addition of Steegmüller Kaminoflex, based in Villingen in the Black Forest — a notoriously demanding market. This was followed by Spain, with Viuda, based in Valencia, and then another UK acquisition: Midtherm, based in Birmingham, a major player in terms of both production volumes and market reach.
Four companies, four different manufacturing cultures, one unified group.
