The Watermill Group Acquires Cooper & Turner in Significant Cross-Border Deal

The Watermill Group, a strategy-driven private investment firm, has completed the cross-border acquisition of Andaray (Holdings) Limited and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Cooper & Turner”), a UK-based global manufacturer and distributor of high-strength, large diameter industrial fastener systems. Market leading organizations in wind energy, construction, OEM, rail and tunnelling turn to Cooper & Turner as one of the leading suppliers of fasteners for can’t-fail fastening applications and extreme environments, when the highest quality products are vital.

Headquartered in Sheffield, England, Cooper & Turner serves a global customer base with strategically positioned manufacturing and distribution operations across the European Union, China and the US. This global network enables Cooper & Turner to offer a seamless, one-stop shop solution for the manufacture and distribution of industrial fasteners that meet the highest levels of quality. The company will continue to deliver the same trusted and high-quality experience across existing product lines, manufacturing sites and distribution operations as the business also pursues new product, service and market opportunities around the world.

The acquisition of Cooper & Turner deepens Watermill’s presence in the UK, and adds to a portfolio of other holdings across North America.
