Rubix Poland has acquired PePe sp. z o. o. – a renowned supplier of specialist flow products in Poland – as part of the Group’s network development strategy.
PePe’s focus on stainless steel solutions used primarily in the food and processing industries will expand our capabilities in the segment across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
