Genuit Group, the Leeds-based provider of sustainable water, climate and ventilation solutions for the built environment, has acquired Davidson Holdings Limited for £49m.
The business comprises plumbing and heating sector brands including Salamander Pumps, Cistermiser, Talon and Keraflo and has manufacturing sites in Sunderland, Reading and Gillingham.
These brands have strong market positions, primarily in the UK Repair, Maintenance and Improvement sectors of the residential and commercial segments, and benefit from sustainability-led growth drivers.
The business is expected to deliver full year 2025 revenue of £32.8m. It will form part of the group’s Sustainable Building Solutions (SBS) business unit.
Joe Vorih, CEO, Genuit Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome our new colleagues to Genuit. Davidson is an excellent fit with the existing businesses within SBS, adding to our portfolio of strong brands alongside Polypipe, Manthorpe and Terrain.
“We see opportunities to grow Davidson’s products by utilising our existing strong market positions, as well as combining certain product ranges to provide higher value-added solutions to customers.
“Additionally, by deploying the lean techniques of GBS, and our procurement scale, we expect to deliver efficiency improvements in the near future. This transaction follows our recent acquisition of Monodraught and demonstrates the strength of our M&A pipeline.”
