Kawneer EU, a €125 million division of Arconic, is set to be acquired by Mutares, marking it as Mutares' new investment platform.
In a significant move, Mutares, a German investment company, has agreed to acquire Kawneer EU, a leading European aluminium architectural window and facade systems business. This acquisition marks a strategic step in further strengthening Mutares' construction focus in the Engineering & Technology segment.
Kawneer EU, headquartered across the Netherlands, France, and the UK, operates in both residential and non-residential markets. The company's extensive portfolio includes windows, doors, sliders, curtain walls, and framing systems, serving more than 450 customers through four production facilities.
The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approval. Upon completion, the deal is set to create synergies with existing portfolio companies Byldis and Smart Curtain Wall, part of Kalzip.
While the transformation plan for Kawneer EU does not provide a timeline for its implementation, Mutares plans operational initiatives to support Kawneer EU's transformation into an independent specialized European company. These initiatives include streamlining processes, enhancing product innovation, and focusing on market expansion.
The transformation strategy does not disclose any potential changes in Kawneer EU's employee count or annual revenues, nor does it provide specific details about potential changes in the customer base or production facilities. However, the goal is to leverage cost efficiencies from a consolidated platform structure and to further strengthen Mutares' construction focus in the Engineering & Technology segment.
Mutares has stated that the acquisition will expand its Engineering & Technology segment. However, no new synergies with specific portfolio companies were mentioned in the context of Kawneer EU's transformation. The acquisition does not include immediate merger with existing portfolio companies.
The head of Kawneer EU who coordinated within Arconic's European aluminum building window and facade systems division is not publicly specified. The transformation strategy does not include a timeline for its implementation or any specific details about potential changes in Kawneer EU's operational initiatives.
Kawneer EU employs over 400 people and generates annual revenues of around €125m. The company's transformation is expected to be achieved through these operational initiatives, geographic expansion, and product innovation.
The acquisition of Kawneer EU by Mutares is a significant step in Mutares' growth strategy, and it is anticipated that the acquisition will contribute positively to Mutares' performance in the long term.
