The acquisition of Allied Insulators

A notable transaction advised upon by KBS Corporate in 2022 involves the acquisition of Allied Insulators by publicly-listed Swedish corporate, Addtech AB, based in Stockholm. KBS Corporate's client, Allied Insulators, is a market-leading manufacturer of insulators, which are supplied to clients throughout the UK and exported internationally to the Middle East and New Zealand. Addtech approached the opportunity with the aim to expand their reach beyond the Nordics. Hans Andersén, Business Area Manager of Addtech Energy commented: "The acquisition of Allied Insulators further strengthens our position as a leading player in the field of electric transmission lines. Allied Insulators excellently complements our operations and establishes us as a significant supplier of the overhead line material to network owners outside the Nordic region." In addition, Foresight Group LLP's acquisition of Rooms & Views Manufacturing, a manufacturer of PVC-U windows, doors, and conservatories marks the investment group’s second acquisition via KBS Corporate and will enable Foresight Group LLP to further diversify its manufacturing portfolio into the windows and doors manufacturing sector. There is no denying that manufacturing is a stalwart of the UK economy, this sector plays a vital role in UK business. As a result, companies within the sector often see not only high levels of acquisition interest but also attract high deal values - this will see the manufacturing sector remain as one of the key players within the M&A market.
