Nibe Industrier : acquires Canadian heat pump company CGC Group of Companies Inc.

CGC was founded in 1995 and is headquartered in Mississauga, just outside Toronto, with its manufacturing facility in the nearby town of Fergus.

The company has about 80 employees, sales of approximately SEK 120 million (CAD 18 million) and an operating margin of 19%. CGC mainly targets commercial properties under the well known brands Bulldog Heat Pump, Compax and Varipak.

'We now have an additional platform for heat pumps for commercial properties in North America and see good growth opportunities both in Canada and the US,' says Gerteric Lindquist, CEO of NIBE Industrier.

It's really inspiring to continue the work of developing CGC together with the current owners and founders, Bill Browne and Bob Rutherford. Together they have more than 70 years of experience in the heat pump industry and they will continue to lead the company in strict accordance with our usual acquisition model.'

CGC will be included in the NIBE Climate Solutions business area and will be consolidated from 1 February 2017.

The purchase price is not specified because the acquired business will only constitute a small part of the NIBE Group.
