Laumann Group plans acquisition of Epwin Group plc to drive strategic growth
The German-based Laumann Group SE is pleased to announce its public offer under a scheme arrangement to acquire the UK-based Epwin Group plc, a publicly listed and successful business within the construction industry.
This strategic move marks a significant milestone for both organizations and reflects a shared vision for sustainable growth, innovation and long-term value creation.
A strong partnership for the future
The Laumann Group is a leading international provider of construction-related product solutions and IT services, headquartered in Sendenhorst, Westphalia, Germany. The company origins can be traced back over 50 years. The family business is still owned and controlled by descendants of the founder, Heinrich Laumann.
Laumann Group’s expertise encompasses various industry solutions from extruded PVC profiles for windows and doors, to aluminium systems, PVC sheet and façade solutions, high-quality surface technology and IT consulting. With a strong foundation and a forward-looking strategy, the Laumann Group has built a reputation for reliability and long-term partnerships across its industry.
Epwin Group is a public limited company registered in England and Wales and was incorporated on 16 August 2011. The Epwin shares have been admitted to trading on AIM since 24 July 2014.
In 1976, the Epwin Group started as one of the first PVC-U window fabrication businesses in the UK and since then has grown both organically and by acquisition to become a leading manufacturer of energy-efficient and low maintenance building products for the repair, maintenance and improvement, social housing and new build markets in the UK.
The planned acquisition is rooted in a shared belief of both management teams in the compatibility of both companies, because it brings together two highly complementary businesses with aligned values and compatible cultures. Their combined strengths will create a strong foundation for sustainable growth and long-term value creation. The enlarged Group is expected to benefit from increased scale, broader capabilities and greater resilience across markets.
Looking ahead
A strategic priority of Laumann Group is to enhance its geographic and product footprint by expansion into additional segments of the building products industry and further enhancing its technical, service and distribution capabilities. Acquisitions are seen as a key component of this strategy.
The Laumann Group has consistently demonstrated its ability to identify, execute and integrate acquisitions, leveraging synergies and pooling competencies across its global network. Both companies will continue to operate independently under their existing brands and management structures.
