Eurocell – the manufacturer, distributor and recycler of window, door, conservatory and roofline products – has bought PVC-U Window and Door hardware distributor, Security Hardware Ltd.
With a turnover of approximately £4 million, Willenhall-based Security Hardware specialises in domestic PVC-U door locks; door security hardware; window locks and window hardware; the company also offers a range of products for timber and composite door security. It operates through multi-channels – trade counter, direct sales and online.
The acquisition will enable Eurocell to grow its own hardware sales, the Security Hardware business and deliver a comprehensive hardware service to trade customers through its extensive branch network, now numbering almost 170 outlets. Mark Kelly, Eurocell CEO, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Security Hardware into the Eurocell group. It’s truly exciting to align with a business with such a track record of success, and one that complements the Eurocell business model so perfectly”.
Security Hardware Managing Director Nigel Ridgway said, “With 30 years’ experience in the door and window industry, and with an intense focus on quality and customer service; the Security Hardware fit with Eurocell feels like a great one and is bound to benefit both businesses. Using our expertise, we are continuing to expand our range in this category, while the group can look forward to more products being rolled out across its fast-growing branch network. It’s a win for everyone”.
