FM Mattsson shares climbed sharply in Stockholm trading after the company announced it would acquire Bristan, widely regarded as the United Kingdom’s largest supplier of taps and showers.
The deal marks a significant expansion for the Swedish manufacturer, which has been actively pursuing growth opportunities beyond its domestic market.
CEO Fredrik Ska highlighted the strategic value of the acquisition, noting that the market remains large with substantial room for growth across all brand portfolios.
The market reaction was immediate and positive, with investors rewarding the company’s aggressive M&A strategy.
The acquisition of Bristan provides FM Mattsson with a dominant foothold in the British bathroom fittings sector, a market characterized by steady demand from both residential renovations and new construction projects.
This move aligns with the company’s broader objective to diversify its revenue streams and reduce reliance on the Nordic region.
