Building firm acquires British group

CORK-based steel frame building firm Fusion Building Systems has acquired British company Framing Solutions in a multi-million euro deal.

Fusion, which was set up in 1998 as an independent subsidiary of the Fleming Group, is Ireland’s largest manufacturer of steel building frames, and bathroom and kitchen pods for buildings of up to four storeys. It employs 220 people between its offices in Cork and Britain.

The exact value of the deal was not disclosed by Fusion but it is understood to be in the region of several million.
