Alno UK has acquired Wolverhampton-based worksurface fabricator UK Surface Solutions (UKSS), which provides granite, marble, Corian and quartz tops and is a gold fabricator for Cosentino.

The acquisition by Alno has allowed the 25-year old fabrication business to recruit additional staff and invest in machinery for the faster processing of worktops.

Alno UK is celebrating 40 years of trading this year, supplying kitchens from Germany in 1974, and it now supplies kitchen from four brands: Alno, Wellmann, Impuls and Pino.
