Kingspan buys Swedish company Nordic Waterproofing
Briefly

Kingspan's acquisition of a 26.5% stake in Nordic Waterproofing enhances its control to 62%, reinforcing its position in the global roofing and waterproofing market. This merger is significant for developing their annual revenues to around €1bn, establishing a broader market reach in Northern Europe. While navigating perceived financial fairness concerns regarding the purchase price, the firm is advancing organic growth in the U.S. as well.
"Nordic Waterproofing is a leading provider of waterproofing solutions in Northern Europe with a presence in 10 countries," Kingspan highlighted. This acquisition emphasizes their commitment to expand their global reach and enhance product offerings over the long term.
Despite challenges, such as valuation disagreements last February, Kingspan has increased its stake strategically without triggering mandatory public offer obligations, showcasing careful navigation of regulatory landscapes while advancing its objectives.
