Ulf Berg, CEO of the Nizi group, commented on the announcement: “The Nizi Group is expanding into new market segments, and the addition of Keyvest brings not only improved access to niche markets, but also significant competence within the field of processing in general and powders in particular. There are significant synergies between the companies within product sourcing and market coverage.”
