Date: 25/07/2024

Matheson is delighted to have advised private equity house Draycott SCR and global industrial group Purever Industries, on their acquisition of Ardmac, the Irish headquartered international specialist contracting firm.

The Matheson team was led by Corporate M&A partner Enda Garvey, associate Rachael Toland-Burke, solicitor John Tye Sillem and worked alongside PLEN Sociedade de Advogados RL.

Draycott SCR is a private equity fund based in Portugal with a focus on equity consolidation and buy-outs, real estate development and yield, venture capital and growth and innovation.  Ardmac is leading provider of clean, technical and working environments to the life sciences, data, micro-electronics, EV battery and commercial sectors across Europe. Ardmac employs approx. 500 people and Purever employs approx. 1,100 people and following the acquisition the strength of the combined offering will  enable the group to offer both material supply and specialist construction solutions, bringing a competitive advantage in their operating markets. 

Enda Garvey commented: "We are delighted to have worked with the Draycott, Purever and Plen teams on what is a strategically important and exciting acquisition.  Ardmac is another great example of a truly innovative Irish company making an impact on the international stage.  We look forward to supporting the combined group on the next phase of their journey.”
