Raleigh Coatings

Raleigh is one of a small number of companies globally offering acrylic and silicone gel contract coating services for the woundcare market, and the only independent UK provider of its kind. Operating from modern manufacturing facilities in Staffordshire, the business provides highly specialised coating, converting and perforation services to a blue-chip customer base across the healthcare sector. 

The transaction represented a strategic opportunity for both parties. Raleigh, which was considered non-core to its parent group, Apollo Chemicals, was acquired by a buyer for whom its specialist capabilities were highly complementary. 

For AMS, the acquisition strengthens its position in the woundcare sector by bringing critical coating and perforation capabilities in-house, supporting operational efficiency, product development and long-term growth. 

Andy worked closely with the Raleigh management team over an extended period, supporting strategic planning, performance monitoring and preparation for sale. An off-market process was structured and negotiated directly with AMS, resulting in a strong outcome for shareholders and a clear strategic fit for the buyer.
