BSW acquires Alvic Plastic

21 August 2018


BSW Group has acquired Alvic Plastics Ltd into its company group following a long-standing relationship with the organisation.

As part of the continued diversification and growing product range of BSW, in addition to investments so far, there is a multi-million pound investment plan to increase capacity and product offering.

Alvic’s chief executive, Al Ghattaura, is set to remain in post as CEO and shareholder following the transition to the BSW Group.

“Alvic joining the BSW Group is a fantastic opportunity for us to revolutionise wood plastic composite (WPC) products in the UK, utilising Alvic’s extensive production knowledge and capability along with our own wide-spread customer base and national distribution,” said Tony Hackney, chief executive at BSW Group.

“While the business has only been producing since January 2017, Al Ghattaura has extensive experience in manufacturing and supply of WPC and PVC products in the UK and international markets. We are delighted that he will be staying on as CEO and shareholder.”

Alvic Plastics Ltd is already one of the largest producers of WPC, which fits in well with BSW’s current products and customer base, providing the group with a unique offer to distribute WPC products along with timber deliveries nationwide.

Manufactured in Britain, the products will have an efficient, high quality and competitive advantage, said the company.

Mr Hackney added: “We launched a mono deck board in partnership with Alvic earlier this year which proved to be a huge success with our existing customers. It is our belief that bringing Alvic into the BSW Group will only continue to help us expand our offering, providing our customers with new and exciting products for many years to come.”

The companies are currently working on the development of new products, which are set to be announced and ready for production in 2019.
