May 2026 – Grafton Group plc acquires Mercaluz
Mercaluz is a family-owned group specializing in the distribution of domestic and commercial air conditioning equipment, as well as household appliances for professional installers.
Grafton Group plc is an international listed distributor of building materials. This acquisition strengthens Grafton’s position in the HVAC sector in Iberia and represents a further step in its consolidation and expansion strategy in the region, following the acquisition of Salvador Escoda in October 2024, a transaction in which SOCIOS also acted as advisor to Grafton.
SOCIOS has advised Grafton Group plc on the transaction.
