LDC-backed Pelsis bolts on Curtis Gilmour

The transaction comes a year after LDC backed the management buyout of Pelsis from US-based GP Wind Point Partners.

Following the deal, the consolidated business will have a turnover of around €125m, with operations in 15 countries and a total headcount of around 420.

Pelsis had also pursued an acquisitive and international growth strategy under its previous owners and most recently bolted on Tanaco in 2016 and Eidalux (then known as SX Environmental Supplies) in 2015.
