Shore Capital is delighted to have acted as sole Financial Adviser, Rule 3 Adviser, Nominated Adviser and Corporate Broker to Epwin Group on its £167m recommended cash acquisition by Laumann Group, an international provider of construction-related product solutions and IT services, headquartered in Germany.

Epwin is a leading vertically integrated, UK-based manufacturer of energy efficient and low maintenance building products, supplying products and services with strong inherent sustainability credentials into the RMI, new build and social housing sectors.

The acquisition gives Laumann the opportunity to accelerate the implementation of its strategic growth plans within the UK whilst providing the Epwin Group with a stable and supportive new owner, committed to the continuity of Epwin’s business, strategy and approach.

Having grown and developed significantly since its IPO 11 years ago, the acquisition has allowed Epwin shareholders to realise their investments in full at a substantial premium to the prevailing share price, and at a higher level than the Epwin shares had traded for more than eight years.

Having advised Epwin as Nominated Adviser and Corporate Broker for the last six years, we were proud to support the company on this transaction. We wish the Epwin team all the best for the future.
