Aurelius, an asset management group, agreed to acquire Hüppe, manufacturer of shower enclosures, shower trays, wall panels and bathroom accessories, from Masco, a company engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing and distribution of branded home improvement and building products. Financial terms were not disclosed. "We are pleased to welcome Hüppe as a strong platform in the building materials sector. Last but not least because of the fundamental trends of home investments, sustainability and an aging society we are convinced of the successful development and look forward to working alongside Hüppe's management team to expand the business in its core European markets," Matthias Täubl, Aurelius CEO.
