Building across borders: B&C helps Quanex's US$976m acquisition of Tyman

19/07/2024

We're delighted to have helped US-based Quanex Building Systems with its US$976m (£788m) cross-border acquisition of doors and windows supplier Tyman, based in the UK.

NYSE-listed Quanex is a global manufacturer with core capabilities and broad applications across various end markets, while Tyman is a leading international supplier of engineered fenestration components and access solutions to the construction industry.

The cash and shares acquisition of Tyman comes at a time when housebuilders in the US have been forced to cut prices due to higher mortgage costs, creating problems for first time buyers.

Nicky Hartery, non-executive chair of Tyman, said: 'This transformative and complementary transaction will strengthen the enlarged business for the benefit of all our customers, employees and other stakeholders. 

'In the context of a rapidly evolving North American marketplace, our board ultimately determined that this transaction is the best path to maximising value for Tyman shareholders, who will be able to realise a meaningful portion of their holding in cash at a significant premium to the prevailing share price while also participating in the future upside of the enlarged group.'
