The business concept is similar to NCAB’s and the company has a good reputation and a strong market position, being located close to the areas that have a high density of electronics industries in Lombardy and Veneto. Adding DVS to our existing operations in Italy, including the acquisition of Prevent in 2021 and BBC in 2022, is making NCAB a major player in the PCB market in Italy. ”
Sellers Denis Vigo and Paolo Facco: “Since its foundation, DVS has built its reputation on excellence of customer service, a stable and well managed supply chain and loyal enthusiastic employees. We have been looking for a way to expand our business and bring more opportunities to our customer base. We are honoured to have been chosen by what we consider one of the most important players in this field in the world. We are excited to join forces with NCAB and are confident this will be an interesting and rewarding step both for our customers and employees.”
