Bailey, a leader in building envelope solutions since 1975, today announced the acquisition of the assets of The Parkside Group, bringing the renowned Comar architectural aluminium systems and Axim architectural hardware brands into its comprehensive product portfolio.
This strategic acquisition significantly enhances Bailey’s capabilities in the construction sector, expanding its total building envelope offering to include aluminium window, door and curtain walling systems.
Since its founding, Bailey has evolved from flat roofing specialists to become an industry leader in the design and manufacture of aluminium façades. With the addition of the Comar and Axim brands, Bailey becomes the only company in the UK offering a truly complete building envelope solution, from roofing to façades, and now including aluminium window, doors and curtain walling systems.
Daniel Gilmore, CEO of Bailey, commented: “This strategic acquisition establishes Bailey as the UK’s sole provider of a complete building envelope solution. By bringing Comar and Axim into the Bailey family, we’re creating an unparalleled offering that combines our collective knowledge, experience, and people-first approach. Since 1975, we’ve driven the business forward by putting our customers and people at the heart of everything we do, delivering innovative solutions that stand the test of time. Our ‘stronger together’ mentality continues to guide our growth, bringing together the best expertise in the industry to serve our customers’ evolving needs.”
Peter Dziurzynski, Managing Director of Comar & Axim, added: “Joining Bailey opens exciting new possibilities for the Comar and Axim brands. Our architectural aluminium systems and door hardware solutions perfectly complement Bailey’s existing product range, completing the building envelope offering. We’re enthusiastic about embracing Bailey’s people-first culture and stronger together mentality. By combining our know how and resources, we’ll deliver unprecedented value to customers across the construction industry, backed by a shared commitment to knowledge, innovation and excellence.”
Bailey has confirmed that the acquisition will not disrupt current service to customers of either business. In keeping with the company’s people-first approach, existing relationships, contacts, and support channels with Bailey, Comar and Axim will remain unchanged throughout the integration process.
The expanded portfolio, backed by Bailey’s stronger together mentality, will enhance the company’s ability to meet customer needs through combined expertise and resources. This unified approach ensures customers benefit from a complete building envelope solution while maintaining the high levels of service and technical knowledge that customers of both companies have come to expect.
