Acquistion of Robinson Willey brand announced

GDC Group, the UK heating division of Glen Dimplex, announces the acquisition of fixed assets, inventory and intellectual property including the brand of Robinson Willey.

Robinson Willey provides a range of RW branded gas and electric fires, fire surrounds and heating products to the social housing, new build and commercial markets and is renowned for its pioneering advances in the field of gas fire safety and energy efficiency.

Robinson Willey is a leader in the manufacture of gas and electric heating products, and will continue to operate as a stand alone business from its manufacturing site in Merseyside.

The acquisition will see the production of all RW branded products recommence, and all standard RW product warranties will be honoured by the GDC Group for products that were sold in the previous 12 months.

It is expected that the acquisition will enable the company to expand its presence in both existing and new, emerging energy markets.

The multi-national Glen Dimplex Group is a privately owned company that has household brand names like Dimplex, Belling, Morphy Richards appliances and Lec refrigeration.

Robinson Willey has been manufacturing gas fires since 1962 and they were the catalyst for the dramatic expansion in the field of gas fires.
