New on the Spanish market: HAPPICH RIU S.A.

founded Spanish company under German ownership is now called HAPPICH RIU

S.A. and continues the current business of the acquired Auto Carrocerias Riu. In

"We continue to fight the severely splintered industry with our growth strategy.

Development, production and distribution of parts and components for bodies

of industrial vehicles - these activities of Auto Carrocerias Riu as well as its

production portfolio and the industries are almost identical to ours. With Auto

Carrocerias Riu we have acquired a healthy company with deep roots in the

Spanish market and full order books. Soon we shall employ additional people."

for the further development of the important Latin-American bus and utility

vehicle markets for us."
