London, 7 August 2025 – Euclid Law is advising the Laumann Group on UK competition law matters in its public takeover of Epwin plc, which was announced earlier today.
The proposed deal, valued at £167 million, will bring together Germany-based Laumann Group, a global provider of building solutions, with annual revenues of €1.6 billion, and Epwin Group, a listed UK manufacturer of PVC and aluminium building products, with over £300 million in annual revenue. Completion of the transaction is conditional on various steps, including regulatory clearances. Once completed, the transaction promises to accelerate the implementation of Laumann’s growth plans within the UK.
Working closely with Christoph Heinrich at ADVANT Beiten in Munich, Euclid Law is leading on the UK merger control process.
“We’re proud to support Laumann in navigating the UK regulatory landscape and it has been a pleasure to work with them and ADVANT Beiten” said Becket McGrath, Partner at Euclid Law.
