Swarco has acquired German-based manufacturer Vialux Glasperlen and will use its glass beads to make road markings more visible at night, particularly on wet roads.
Swarco has now obtained 100% shares in Vialux in a deal which it says will strengthen its glass bead portfolio.
Philipp Swarovski, Swarco’s chief operating officer, says the agreement will allow Swarco to offer its customers even greater road safety.
