Epwin Group, a Solihull-based manufacturer of energy efficient and low maintenance building products, is set to be acquired by German construction supplier Laumann in a deal that values the AIM-listed company at £167.3 million.
The acquisition represents approximately a 6.4x multiple of Epwin’s £26.2 million operating profit for the year to December 31 2024, generated on revenue of £324 million, and is expected to generate significant added returns for the group’s shareholders.
For Laumann, the acquisition is set to accelerate its growth strategy implementation in the UK and unlock additional opportunities for operational synergies. Epwin Group supplies a range of construction markets, including RMI, social housing and new builds.
Andreas Hartleif and Pascal Heitmar, directors of the management board of Laumann, said that the firm was “excited about the potential that such a complementary business can bring to the Enlarged Group as we expand in the important UK market.”
Stephen Harrison, chairman of Epwin, commented: “It is a testament to the hard work of the management team and all of our people that Epwin is strategically positioned for future success, with well-managed operations, experienced people, a leading product portfolio and a strong balance sheet.”
Harrison added that the acquisition by Laumann reflects the strengths of the business and provides the group “with a stable and supportive new owner, committed to the continuity of the business, strategy and approach.”
Harrison also stated that the deal allows “shareholders the opportunity to realise their investments in cash and in full at a higher level than the Epwin Shares have traded in more than eight years” and revealed that the acquisition had been unanimously approved by the board.
Epwin Group has been trading for close to 50 years, with more than 2,100 staff working across over 100 locations. On an annual basis, the group produces more than 60,000 tonnes of PVC, aluminium, GRP and composite products.
