GFTU - GRAFTON GROUP - Share Chat

Grafton Group plc is a leading international distributor of building materials, operating across the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The company’s core activities span merchanting, DIY retailing, and manufacturing. In merchanting, Grafton supplies a wide range of building materials and plumbing products to trade customers, with key brands including Selco Builders Warehouse in the UK, and Chadwicks Group in Ireland. Its DIY retail operations include Woodie’s in Ireland.

Grafton also manufactures various products, including mortar and uPVC windows. The Group has recently refined its portfolio, notably divesting its Buildbase general merchanting business in the UK. This strategic move aims to focus on higher-returning businesses and opportunities for further growth, both organically and through strategic acquisitions, supported by a strong balance sheet.
