Duroc acquires the Cotting Group - a French-Belgian producer of technical textiles with turnover of ca €70m.
Duroc has today signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the privately owned company Mecaseat NV to acquire the Cotting Group, consisting of the French company Griffine Enductin SA ("Griffine") and the Belgian company Plastibert & Cie. NV ("Plastibert").
Griffine has a manufacturing facility in Nucourt, ca 50 km northwest of Paris, and Plastibert has a manufacturing facility in Wielsbeke, ca 30 km southwest of Gent. The group manufactures PVC and PU coated textiles which are used in several different areas, including automotive interior, fashion, protective clothing, hospital beds, dental chairs, furniture and wall coverings.
The Group is mainly active in Europe where the market is assessed at 3.5 Billion EUR with stable long term growth. The Group has turnover of ca 70 MEUR and ca 300 employees. The operating profit for 2018 was ca. 3.6 MEUR.
The transaction is planned to be completed at the start of July, once the conditions for the transaction have been fulfilled. The preliminary purchase price is 18 MEUR. The acquisition is financed through external loans.
The Duroc group has an annual turnover of ca 3,000 MSEK prior to this transaction. The acquisition of the Cotting Group will therefore increase total group revenues by ca 25% at the same time as establishing Duroc in an industry with a fragmented structure and good conditions for growth, both organically and through continued acquisitions.
