NEW YORK, June 01 — One Equity Partners (“OEP”), a middle market private equity firm, today announced that it has acquired Leviat (or “the Company”), a global provider of engineered solutions for the construction and industrial sectors.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Leviat was established in 2020 through the consolidation of CRH’s global construction accessories businesses. Leviat specializes in lifting, reinforcing, anchoring, and connecting applications, with a portfolio of well recognized and trusted brands. The Company is a global leader with 22 manufacturing facilities and 17 warehouses spanning 20 countries, and serves a diverse customer base across residential, non-residential, and infrastructure markets worldwide.
“We believe Leviat is a high‑quality carve‑out with strong brands, deep technical expertise, and a global reach, positioning the Company for meaningful standalone momentum,” said Ori Birnboim, Partner at One Equity Partners.
“We see substantial opportunity to partner with management to accelerate growth through our carve‑out playbook, pursuing strategic acquisitions that build on Leviat’s proven M&A track record, and expanding into complementary product categories to deliver greater scale, innovation, and customer impact,” added Steve Lunau, Partner at One Equity Partners.
“Partnering with One Equity Partners positions Leviat to accelerate our next stage of expansion, combining organic initiatives with further M&A,” said Jesse Hawthorne, President and CEO of Leviat. “Together with OEP, we have already identified attractive opportunities to expand our offering, extend our global reach, and deliver even greater value to our customers.”
“The successful execution of this carve-out transaction reflects OEP’s continued focus to build champions in the specialty building materials and products space, and we look forward to driving Leviat’s next phase of growth as a standalone business,” said Matthew Hughes, Partner at One Equity Partners.
