Carysil UK Ltd., a subsidiary of Carysil Ltd., is set to acquire the remaining 30% stake in Carysil Brassware Ltd., a Yorkshire-based company. The £350,000 deal will give Carysil UK full ownership of the business, which specializes in kitchen and bathroom products, including the popular ‘Instant Boiling Water Tap.’
Carysil UK initially bought a 70% stake in Carysil Brassware back in April, 2023 for £1.16 million. At the time, they had the option to buy the remaining 30% by 2026, but they’ve now decided to accelerate the acquisition with an idea to boost Carysil Brassware’s performance and help it grow faster.
What makes this deal interesting is that it’s a related-party transaction, involving the original promoters of Carysil Brassware, Greenwood Stuart and Zoe Amanda Greenwood. However, Carysil UK is handling the entire transaction on its own, using internal funds and not relying on financial help from its parent company, Carysil Ltd.
Carysil Brassware, registered in England and Wales, has carved out a niche in designing and sourcing products, with a focus on innovative taps. The company’s turnover stood at £1.21 million as of March 31, 2024. By acquiring the remaining shares, Carysil UK is looking to strengthen its position in the UK market by tapping into Carysil Brassware’s design and marketing expertise which aligns perfectly with Carysil’s broader strategy to expand its footprint in the kitchen and bathroom segments in the UK.
On the day of the announcement, Carysil shares took a slight dip, closing down 1.09% at Rs.913.05 on the BSE. The market’s reaction was relatively muted, but the shares have opened at Rs.917.30 today, showing an upward track. The acquisition is expected to have positive long-term implications for Carysil’s growth in the UK according to the reports.
Conclusion: Wrapping Up, with this acquisition, Carysil UK is not just taking full control of Carysil Brassware but also positioning itself for stronger growth in the UK’s kitchen and bathroom industry. The deal is a clear signal that Carysil is serious about expanding its presence in the market.
