In Italy, cleaning machine producer Riello Cleaning Machines has acquired a majority stake in Pulitecno, a manufacturer of high-pressure cleaners also based in Italy.

The acquisition, Riello says, will enable it to expand its product portfolio and diversify its range. In addition to the vacuum cleaners, single-disc machines and scrubber dryers already established under the Ghibli and Wirbel brands, high-pressure cleaners will be part of the portfolio.

"The acquisition of Pulitecno is an important strategic move for our company," commented Giuseppe Riello, CEO of Riello Cleaning Machines. "It will enable us to exceed €40 million in consolidated turnover, increase our expertise in the professional cleaning segment and offer an increasingly wide range of machines specifically designed for this sector."
