👉 GGF acquires ACDM 👈 “Joining the GGF presents a fantastic opportunity for our members. We believe that this partnership will provide access to a wider range of resources, services and support, enabling our members to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.” The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) has announced the acquisition of the Association of Composite Door Manufacturers (ACDM). More here: https://zurl.co/oWBA0

🤝 Acquisition news 🤝 “Alunet Group is a great fit for Eurocell. It significantly strengthens our position in aluminium for the residential sector, enhances our composite door offering, and adds a premium range of aluminium garage doors to our portfolio of home improvement products. This gives our trade partners a much wider product basket with which to grow their businesses and vastly more choice for their customers and end-users. “Homeowners today are much savvier and more knowledgeable about how and with what they want to improve their homes.  Our aim is to provide customers with the products they need to meet developing trends and the desires of the market - whether that's for PVC-U, aluminium, or composite options. “Alunet Group has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2016 thanks to its expert team. As part of Eurocell, we will leverage its well established product offering by expanding the routes to market through our strong market positions in new build, trade fabrication and our branch network distribution.” Alunet Systems and its stable of home improvement brands, has been acquired by Derbyshire based Eurocell plc.
