One Equity Partners (OEP), a middle-market private equity firm, announced it has acquired Leviat, a global provider of engineered solutions for the construction and industrial sectors.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Leviat was formed in 2020 through the consolidation of CRH’s global construction accessories businesses. The company specializes in lifting, reinforcing, anchoring, and connecting applications and operates a portfolio of established brands serving construction markets around the world.
Leviat has a significant international footprint, operating 22 manufacturing facilities and 17 warehouses across 20 countries. The company serves customers in residential, non-residential, and infrastructure sectors globally.
According to OEP, the acquisition aligns with its strategy of building market-leading companies in industrial and specialty building materials sectors. The firm plans to support Leviat’s growth through operational improvements, strategic acquisitions, and expansion into complementary product categories.
Leviat’s management team will continue leading the business as it enters its next phase as a standalone company under OEP ownership. The company intends to pursue both organic growth initiatives and additional mergers and acquisitions opportunities to expand its product offering and geographic reach.
One Equity Partners focuses on investments across industrial, healthcare, and technology sectors in North America and Europe. Since its founding in 2001, the firm has completed more than 500 transactions worldwide and operates offices in New York, Chicago, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam.
Founded through the combination of several construction accessory businesses previously owned by CRH, Leviat brings together brands including Ancon, Halfen, Meadow Burke, and Plaka under a unified platform focused on construction innovation and engineering expertise.
