Continental and Bandvulc management comment on integration process

Patrick O’Connell (along with all of Bandvulc’s management team) stays on post-acquisition and has praised the cultural similarities between Conti and Bandvulc

It is no secret that Continental and Bandvulc have been working together for decades. So it was also no surprise to learn that the subject of a possible takeover arose as long as 12 years ago. However, the round of talks that resulted in the sale agreement were instigated by Bandvulc managing director Patrick O’Connell during a meeting at the CV show in 2013. In the two or so years that followed the two firms say they grew together before a final deal was completed in July 2016.
