Fentrade acquired by Aluminium Vision

Aluminium trade fabricator, Fentrade Limited, has been acquired by Aluminium Vision Limited from Gloucestershire in a move that will further strengthen Fentrade’s position as a manufacturer of commercial and residential frames.

The shareholdings of Fentrade have been sold in a deal managed and overseen by business sale specialists Dexterity Partners, who have been instrumental in selling a number of businesses within the fenestration industry.

Chris Reeks, the founder and former managing director, will remain with the company under its new ownership as a director. Since founding Fentrade in 2018, his vision has been to establish the brand as a leading name in high-quality, expertly manufactured aluminium products, supported by an exceptional service ethos. He will continue to build on that mission in his new role.

Chris said: “Fentrade has been a fantastic journey for me, working with my fellow shareholders to create a fabricator that has become renowned for service and quality. The share purchase by Aluminium Vision will enable myself and the Fentrade team to keep working closely with our existing customers while having the ability to secure additional growth with new customers and contractors”.

Director of Aluminium Vision, Matt Stephens, is equally as excited about the future for Fentrade: “Acquiring Fentrade is a very positive move for us as a company; we are bringing existing revenue streams into the business and more investment over the longer term which will further cement its position in the industry as the go-to fabricator for commercial and residential aluminium.”

Fentrade will continue to service its customer base from its modern manufacturing facility in Newport, South Wales where it has plans to increase the workforce over the coming months.

Manufacturing its product range using materials from respected industry names such as Aluk, VBH, Kestrel and Jack Aluminium, Fentrade’s new owners will look to further enhance the offering to the customers. Matt said: “Fentrade has a great reputation for quality and service within the industry and we’re looking forward to building upon this as we take the company to the next level of its fabrication journey”.
