Houlihan Lokey Advises Laumann Group

Houlihan Lokey is pleased to announce that Laumann Group (Laumann) has acquired AIM-quoted Epwin Group PLC (Epwin) by way of a recommended scheme of arrangement. The transaction values the entire issued and to-be-issued share capital of Epwin at £167.3 million.

Laumann’s cash offer of 120 pence per Epwin share, a 31.9% premium to the then prevailing share price, was announced on 7 August 2025 and has now received both Epwin shareholder approval and the sanction of the Court.

Laumann is a family-owned, international provider of construction-related product solutions and IT services, headquartered in Sendenhorst, Westphalia, Germany.

Epwin is a vertically integrated, U.K.-based manufacturer of energy-efficient and low-maintenance building products, supplying products and services into the repair, maintenance and improvement, new build, and social housing sectors.

The acquisition of Epwin will help accelerate the implementation of Laumann’s growth plans in the U.K. as well as unlock opportunities for operational synergies through sharing know-how and technical infrastructure, scale benefits, and complementary offerings across key end markets.

Houlihan Lokey served as the exclusive financial advisor to Laumann and assisted in the negotiations, financing, and execution of the transaction.
