We are pleased to announce that we have advised the sellers of Victorian House Window Group on its £60 million sale to Inwido AB, a Nasdaq Stockholm-listed company and one of Europe’s largest window manufacturers.
One of the largest M&A deals in Wales this year, this milestone transaction marks a significant international investment in the Welsh manufacturing sector and will protect the future of numerous skilled jobs in West Wales. Inwido will acquire 100% of the share capital of the Group from lead investor BGF (which has been a shareholder since 2021) and the other shareholders of the company.
Victorian House Window Group is Europe’s largest manufacturer of PVC-U vertical sliding sash windows, well known for its brands Victorian Sliders and ECOSlide. Headquartered in Ammanford, the company operates depots and sales locations across the UK and Ireland and a hardware manufacturing site in Foshan, China. Employing around 300 people and generating annual sales of approximately £33 million, the business produces more than 1,750 windows each week and is a major contributor to Wales’s manufacturing economy.
A team from our Cardiff and London offices advised the sellers. The team was led by partners Gerallt Jones and Andrew Hoad, with support from solicitors Daniel Burke and Catherine Adamec.
