PRESS RELEASE

H2 Equity Partners (“H2”) is pleased to announce that it has invested in Eurocell Ltd (“Eurocell”), the UK’s leading manufacturer and distributor of PVC-u profiles and roofline products.
Eurocell generates circa £ 150 million in sales and offers employment to over 900 FTE. Eurocell’s main manufacturing sites and head-office are based in Alfreton, Derbyshire. The company’s Eurocell Profiles division is a leading manufacturer of PVC-u profiles for windows, doors and conservatories as well as roofline products. Eurocell Profiles supplies leading (window) fabricator customers throughout the UK, as well as the Building Plastics division of the group. Eurocell Building Plastics distributes roofline building product and associated products via a network of 124 branches throughout the UK and Ireland; it is the largest specialist building plastics distributor in the country and has grown significantly over recent years.
