Completion of the acquisition of Madrox
Robinson is pleased to announce completion of the acquisition of
MADROX Spó ka Jawna, a Polish based manufacturer of plastic
packaging, details of which were announced on 14 February 2014. The
total consideration, which includes an earnout element payable in
2016, is estimated at GBP13.2m. The level of the earnout is
dependent upon performance of the Madrox business prior to the
payment of the earnout. The initial cash element of GBP10.6m has
been funded from cash reserves and property backed bank debt
(including GBP3.5m of new debt, denominated in PLN, repayable over
4 years at WIBOR plus 1.4%).
The audited Madrox accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013
reported sales of GBP9.8m and a profit before tax of GBP2.2m. Net
assets were GBP5.1m.
Commenting on the acquisition Richard Clothier, Chairman of
Robinson, said:
"The acquisition of Madrox is fully in line with our strategy to
expand in Central Europe partly through selective acquisition of
local plastic packaging manufacturers who supply the strong brand
owners and leading private labels in our sectors. It will allow us
to take a more prominent position in the growing plastic packaging
markets in this region."
