The company focuses on the production, distribution and sale of materials used in roofing and fa\u00e7ade projects \u2014 primarily sandwich panels, metal profiles and finishing elements used in both residential and industrial buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Its own production facilities in Portugal give Grupo IGM a significant advantage, thanks to which the company holds a substantial, several-dozen-percent share of the local sandwich panel market. At the same time, the company is gradually increasing the scale of its operations abroad, with its products supplied, among others, to Spain and selected export markets. In 2024, Grupo IGM recorded sales of EUR 66.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>Forecasts indicate that in 2025\u20132034, the sandwich panel market on the Iberian Peninsula will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.20%[1].<\/p>\n<p>This growth is driven primarily by numerous new investments in energy-efficient construction, intensified building activity and the increasingly widespread use of sustainable architectural and structural solutions, especially in the industrial and commercial sectors. The Iberian Peninsula is not only aligned with Europe\u2019s direction toward sustainable construction, but is currently one of the leaders of this transformation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legislation_That_Sets_the_Trends\"><\/span>Legislation That Sets the Trends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the European Union, low-emission construction is no longer a matter of choice, but is becoming a binding regulatory standard. As a result, the construction industry is seeing a structural shift in demand toward technologies and materials with better parameters, as well as services supporting transformation.<\/p>\n<p>This also applies to the insulation sector. Advanced products that reduce energy losses, improve performance indicators and lower building operating costs are gaining importance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe acquisition of the Portuguese company is another step in consistently strengthening Selena Group\u2019s position and expanding its portfolio with products that have promising growth potential and fit current construction market trends. We are observing growing demand for innovative and technologically advanced thermal insulation materials, and the completion of this transaction reflects the importance of this segment in the Group\u2019s further development,\u201d comments S\u0142awomir Majchrowski, President of the Management Board of Selena Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not slowing down in implementing our plan to build a strong production and distribution hub in Western Europe, which is a priority direction for our global growth. These activities include both organic expansion and targeted acquisitions, as confirmed by our recent acquisitions, including those in France,\u201d adds S\u0142awomir Majchrowski.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining 34% of shares in Grupo IGM will be acquired by Selena Group in the second stage of the transaction, in accordance with the terms and deadlines set out in the share purchase agreement.<\/p>\n<p>[1] Source: <em>Iberian Sandwich Panel Market Size and Share Outlook \u2014 Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report 2025\u20132034<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selena Group has completed the first stage of a transaction involving the acquisition of 66% of the shares in a Portuguese holding company, becoming the owner of Irm\u00e3os Guimar\u00e3es Martins, SGPS, S.A. \u2014 Grupo IGM \u2014 a leader in the production and distribution of high-quality sandwich panels.
