Grafton Group Completes HSS Hire Ireland Acquisition; Sells MFP

Grafton Group plc ("Grafton or the Group"), is pleased to announce that, further to its announcement on 2 April 2025, it completed the acquisition of HSS Hire Ireland Limited ("HSS Hire Ireland") on 31 May 2025.

HSS Hire Ireland is a tool and equipment hire specialist operating from four branches and four customer distribution centres in the Republic of Ireland, offering an extensive range of conventional hire products as well as specialist equipment with a particular focus on powered access.

In a separate and unrelated transaction, Grafton also announces that it has completed the sale of its MFP piping business in Ireland to a subsidiary of Wienerberger AG which mainly operates through Pipelife Ireland Solutions Limited in Ireland. 

Eric Born, Chief Executive Officer of Grafton commented:

"We are delighted to complete the acquisition of HSS Hire Ireland, which is an exceptionally good strategic fit that will broaden the offering of our Chadwicks business in the Republic of Ireland, and we welcome our new colleagues to the Group.

I would also like to thank our loyal colleagues in MFP for their contribution to Grafton over many years."
