BEWI becomes sole owner of Jablite Group

13 June 2022

UK: Norway-based BEWI has acquired an additional 51% stake in Jablite Group for around Euro12m making it the sole owner. It previously purchased a 49% stake in the expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation products producer and civil engineering provider in June 2020. At the time Jablite initiated a restructuring programme due the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdowns. As part of the programme it also closed two of its facilities.

The current management of Jablite, including managing director Richard Lee and finance director John Cooper, will continue in their roles going forward. Rik Dobbelaere, a previous chief executive officer (CEO) of Synbra Holding and BEWi Synbra Group, and director of the board of BEWI ASA, has been director of the board of Jablite since BEWI’s acquisition of the 49% stake in 2020.

“We are very pleased to now be able to include Jablite fully to our team. The company has shown an impressive development the last two years, and we look forward to further strengthen our market position in the UK together going forward,” said Christian Bekken, CEO of BEWI. He added that Jablite’s operations would complement the UK-based operations of Jackon well and that synergies were expected by combining the two companies once the acquisition Jackon transaction is completed. BEWI started to buy the Norway-based supplier of insulation and construction systems in late 2021.

BEWI is an international provider of packaging, components and insulation products.

Recticel considering sale of engineered foams unit to Carpenter amid offer by Greiner for full takeover

22 October 2021

Belgium: Plastics producer Greiner has offered to fully acquire Recticel for Euro1.17bn, including debt. Austria-based Greiner currently holds a 27% stake in the company. The group has valued Recticel’s insulation business at Euro411m. However, Recticel has said that the offer undervalues the division. US-based foam and fibres producer Carpenter previously valued the insulation business at Euro656m in its on-going bid to acquire the company’s engineered foams unit.

Recticel has until 17 December 2021 to issue its decision on the Greiner offer. Before then, it will decide on the possible sale of its engineered foams unit to Carpenter at an extraordinary general meeting. It is currently carrying out due diligence checks for the latter deal.
