On 14 January 2020, Sandvik completed the previously announced acquisition of Summerill Tube Corporation, a manufacturer of high precision tubes. Summerill Tube Corporation is headquartered in Pennsylvania, USA, and generated revenues of about 100 million SEK with 45 employees in 2018. The deal has a limited impact on earnings per share from the start.
