UAP, a specialist in locks and hardware for doors and windows, continues to expand with the purchase of an online business. Maher London is the fourth company to join UAP within recent years. Prior to acquiring Security Hardware in 2022, UAP purchased Newcastle-based Locking Systems in 2020, and Yorkshire-based Intelligent Hardware in 2019.
The acquisition of Maher London, which manufactures door hardware, fixings, and decorating tools, is UAP’s second within the last two months. In December 2022, UAP snapped up Security Hardware from Eurocell PLC adding domestic PVC-U door and windows hardware to its growing product portfolio.
Sold exclusively via online retailers, including Amazon, Maher London’s products are supplied under three brands – XFORT, Sequal and Renov8. The deal builds on an existing relationship which has seen UAP supply door hardware products to Maher London over the last three years.
Bonnie Hodson, Chief Financial Officer of UAP said: “Strategically, the acquisition means we can respond more effectively to the latest buying trends, which since the pandemic, have not only seen more consumers make online purchases, but tradespeople as well.”
