Coats Group chief executive, Rajiv Sharma, says: “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Rhenoflex, which is a complementary addition to Coats. Rhenoflex is a high-quality business focused on sustainability and innovation and presents an exciting opportunity for Coats to establish a leading global platform in footwear components.”
The acquisition comes after Coats completed a deal to purchase Texon, a developer of structural component materials for footwear, last month.
Under the terms of the transaction, Coats agreed to pay an enterprise value of US$237m, and a total net cash consideration of $211m after deducting assumed retirement liabilities and other customary adjustments.
