BDO recently advised the shareholders of Trojan Holdings Limited (“Trojan”), a specialist designer, manufacturer and supplier of cutting-edge hardware solutions for the fenestration industry on the successful sale to Assa Abloy, the largest global supplier of intelligent lock and security solutions.
Originally established in 1993 Trojan is a highly innovative business with a reputation for consistently developing intelligent, high quality and price competitive hardware products with unique design features. Since its formation the group has made a significant investment in developing its UK distribution and manufacturing facilities as well as building strong supply chain relationships with low cost economy manufacturers.
The transaction further strengthens BDO’s credentials in the Building Products sector. Our specialist team has an in-depth understanding of the sector having worked alongside key market players and a range of manufacturing, distribution and service orientated businesses.
"BDO invested significant time in fully understanding our business and the strategic goals of the shareholders before entering into any transaction. This ensured that they became part of the integral management team and at all points during negotiations their advice was commercially driven, supported by a highly detailed financial understanding and absolutely aligned to the interests and objectives of the shareholders. We were highly impressed with their ability to skilfully navigate through transactional issues and would not hesitate to recommend them."
Tony Chadwick, Managing Director, Trojan Manufacturing Group
