Industry News CONSOLIDATION GOOD FOR CLADDING Vivalda Group has acquired the cladding manufacturer MSP Scotland. Vivalda Chairman Peter Johnson is delighted with the acquisition of MSP, which will continue to trade under the brand that was established in 1966. Speaking from Glasgow, he said: “The MSP name is well known across the UK as a provider of both branded fascia boards, as well as its bespoke coated aluminium façade solutions. I’ve been impressed with the level of skilled technicians and engineers based here at Cumbernauld – which I am sure will prove to be a great asset to the Vivalda Group. We intend to invest in people and technology here at MSP, to create a world-class façades manufacturing and fabrication facility. There’s a great fit between Vivalda and MSP, both strategically and culturally, and I am confident that this acquisition will bring further growth to our business.” Johnson added that the sale of MSP was a further sign of consolidation within the UK cladding market, following the Grenfell Tower disaster of 2017: “While the jury is still out on the culpability of those responsible for the failings at Grenfell, the cladding sector has seen big changes in the past two years, with many low quality, smaller suppliers exiting the market. The days of supplying untested fascia board for high rise buildings is thankfully a thing of the past, with the use of ACM and HPL on tall buildings now effectively outlawed. While not directly related to Grenfell, this deal shows that there is consolidation happening within our market – something I see as a positive sign in terms of safety and efficiency. This will all be good news for contractors and architects. In terms of products, we see a big future in fully fire-resistant 3mm aluminium cladding, the type of which is manufactured here at MSP.” NEW EXHIBITORS & SEMINARS ANNOUNCED Contractor’s Day 2019 – sponsored by Quantum Insulation – which takes place at Old Trafford FC, Manchester, on 2nd October, has added a number of new exhibitors and announced some key topics for the seminar programme.
