Valindus acquires ALUK Group
Valindus is the family holding of the Ravel Vidal family and controls Valindus, a French group engaged in the production and distribution of aluminum and PVC systems for windows and doors. The group is also active in the photovoltaic and real estate industries.
Valindus acquired a controlling stake in ALUK, a group based in San Giovanni Lupatoto (Verona) and engaged in the production of aluminum windows, door profiles and accessories, with business in Italy, China, UAE and the Balkans. The acquisition was carried-out through a leveraged buy-out, partly financed by a senior debt line provided by the Intesa San Paolo group.
ALUK group results from the integration of several Italian companies. Since 1985 the group has been active in China with a strong presence and a highly recognized brand.
M&A International assisted Valindus in the definition of its acquisition strategy, identified the target and made contact with the shareholders. It also conducted the negotiations with the vendors and with the banks and advised the client in the negotiations of the shareholders agreement.
This transaction enables Valindus to expand its presence in Italy, obtain a significant presence in China and UAE and enter the accessories production segment. The critical mass that Valindus – ALUK reached will determine important cost synergies, notably in the raw materials procurement. It will also improve the utilization of ALUK’s production capacity as far as accessories.
