Strategy Umeco

The strategy of the England buyer is to grow across its presence in the world market. The buyer is an England company that is doing acquisitions on a regular basis. The buyer plans to realize the following synergies out of the acquisition:

The acquisition of IPM represents an important strategic step which will both secure and enhance Umeco Composites' leading position in one of its highest growth markets.
“The global installed wind power capacity is expected to more than triple between now and 2012, from 94.1 GW to 335 GW (source: WWEA)”.
"The acquisition of IPM is a key element of our strategy to maintain and develop our high global market share in composite curing materials for the wind energy market”.
"Using IPM's vacuum bagging film, we have captured a significant share of this market. However, wind energy currently accounts for just 6% of Group sales and the scope for growth is very exciting. Not only does IPM secure a strategic important source of material supply, but it also provides us with the technology platform to establish the necessary local presence in other key markets.
"The further growth of our Composites activities, which is focused on the aerospace, wind energy and automotive markets, is a core element of our Group strategy. Following our investment of some £33m in the acquisitions of JD Lincoln and Primco over the past two years, today's development represents a further important step forward."
