The recent surge in the stock of HLE Glacoat is on the back of the signing of definitive agreements to acquire the global business of Thaletec GmbH, Germany as well as its subsidiary Thaletec USA, the company announced on Friday, September 17, 2021 after-market hours.

This acquisition is a part of the company’s strategy to strengthen its position further in the global markets with innovative technology.
