Hager Group acquires Italy’s market leader in cable management

Hager Group is pleased to announce it has taken over the family-owned Italian company Bocchiotti on 1^st January 2015. The contract of sale was signed by Daniel Hager, CEO of Hager Group, Philippe Ferragu, Chief Group Resources Officer, and representatives of the Bocchiotti Group, in Blieskastel - Germany, headquarters of Hager Group, on 19^th December 2014.

“This acquisition reinforces our position in the field of cable management and means that we are gaining a fantastic addition to our present offer to provide better solutions to our customers,” explains Daniel Hager, CEO of Hager Group.
