Illustrative financial information about Uponor’s business without Uponor Infra’s divested North American business
On 31 August 2018, Uponor announced that Uponor Infra divests its North American business. Since the foundation of the joint venture with KWH Group, Uponor Infra’s strategic focus has been in Europe, where there are customer, channel and operational synergies to be found with Uponor’s Building Solutions – Europe segment. During the past few years, Uponor Infra has concentrated on streamlining its operations and improving efficiency. These actions have improved profitability in North America, where the business has also benefitted from the good momentum in the markets.
