Rosti Group has acquired Alvi Group, a move that expands the Swedish plastics and contract-manufacturing specialist into Norway and adds production sites in Sweden, Poland (Wrocław) and China. The deal was completed on 2 November and announced by Rosti on 9 November 2026.

Deal details

The acquisition brings about 400 Alvi employees and four principal facilities — Leksvik (Norway), Tyresö (Sweden), Wrocław (Poland) and Suzhou (China) — into Rosti’s network, taking the combined workforce to roughly 3,000 and combined revenue to about €450 million, Rosti says. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Rosti’s announcement lists a near-term timetable for rebranding: the acquired sites will operate under the Rosti name and signage, documents and communications will be updated within 100 days of the 9 November publication — i.e., no later than early March 2027.

Integration and next steps

Rosti says the move widens its capabilities in precision injection moulding, toolmaking and cleanroom production — capabilities that serve medical, industrial and consumer markets and that are also used by automotive suppliers for technical components and assemblies. The company explicitly frames the acquisition as strengthening its engineering and manufacturing footprint in Europe and Asia.

Jonas Persson, CEO of Rosti Group, summarised the rationale succinctly: “This acquisition strengthens Rosti.” The firm adds that the integration will allow Alvi customers access to Rosti’s global network and Rosti customers greater regional capacity.

What this means for the market

For carmakers and Tier‑1s operating in Central and Eastern Europe, the most immediate effect is local capacity and redundancy. Wrocław is a significant CEE manufacturing hub for plastics tooling and parts; adding a local Rosti facility (previously Alvi’s) helps shorten lead times for interior and technical plastic components and broadens sourcing options for OEMs and Tier‑1s that are under pressure to localise supply chains.

Second, the deal expands cleanroom and high‑precision moulding capacity in the Rosti group — capabilities relevant to automotive sensors, connectors and small technical parts increasingly needed by automakers as vehicles electrify and require bespoke polymer components. That diversified capacity also gives Rosti leverage to pitch a single supplier relationship across medical, industrial and automotive programmes, a scale advantage in procurement rounds.

Finally, the transaction illustrates continued consolidation in Europe’s contract manufacturing layer: buyers seeking stable, regional suppliers can point to Rosti’s enlarged footprint as a source of shorter logistics and a broader supplier offer than a smaller local player could provide. For OEM procurement teams in CEE, Wrocław’s inclusion will be the most tangible short‑term gain.
