As you have probably heard by now, Rio Tinto has sold off Alcan Composites for $349 million to Swiss textile and coating machinery manufacturer Schweiter Technologies.
It looks as if Schweiter received a pretty good deal as Alcan Composites had 2008 sales of $859 million.
As the largest supplier of balsa and other core products, it will be interesting to see what Schweiter's plans will be...
