Newable is pleased to announce the sale of its majority stake in ARC Building Solutions to LDC, the leading mid-market private equity investor and part of Lloyds Banking Group.
Based in Leeds, ARC is a leading UK manufacturer of certified and tested cavity barriers and thermal insulation products that enhance fire safety and energy efficiency in buildings. Its technical system solutions enable residential and commercial property developers to create safer, more sustainable spaces for people to live and work. The company joined the Newable Group in December 2019 and has since achieved significant growth over the last six years.
During Newable’s ownership, ARC has strengthened its operations and enhanced its infrastructure moving factories, driving further automation and implementing new systems.
The partnership with LDC marks the next phase of ARC’s growth journey, providing the business with the backing to build on its strong foundations and continue expanding its market presence. Newable will retain minority investment alongside LDC.
“This transaction is an important moment in our journey to drive safety, sustainability, and innovation across the built environment,” said Neil Weeks, CEO of ARC. “Newable’s guidance and investment over the past few years have been instrumental in helping ARC grow and evolve. Their support has enabled us to enhance our capabilities, develop our team, and position the business for long-term success. We are proud of what we have achieved together and excited about the next chapter with LDC.”
Peter Barrand, Chief Investment Officer at Newable, commented: “Working with ARC over the past six years has been a pleasure. The business has achieved impressive growth and operational progress under our ownership, and we are delighted to see it move into its next chapter with LDC’s support. We look forward to continuing our involvement.”
