Atlas Copco AB (OM:ATCO A) announced the decision by its board of directors to divest Dynapac AB. According to the company, the reason for this planned divestment is that the division does not have the economies of scale to become number one or two in this market segment. With this divestment, Atlas Copco aims to find a better owner for the business. Indicative valuations of the business show a need for an impairment charge of approximately €0.2 billion, primarily related to intangible assets.
