Tim-ber!
In February 2009 Graphite provided expansion capital to Performance Timber Products Group, a company created to acquire leading brands in the timber building products sector.
Graphite invested in PTP Group as it believed that, while the building products sector would be adversely affected by the recession, this would create attractive consolidation opportunities.
PTP had acquired Mumford & Wood, a manufacturer and distributor of high-quality timber windows, in 2006. Our investment enabled it to acquire timberwindows.com, the UK’s leading online retailer of timber windows.
Graphite provided further equity in 2010 to finance the acquisitions of Dale, a window supplier to the merchant trade, The English Glasshouse, a conservatory brand, and John Porter Doors, a leading manufacturer and distributor of timber doors and doorsets.
Following these transactions, the group has a strong offering across all key product segments and distribution channels.
