W.Howard Group has acquired Balcas Kildare, which has been manufacturing decorative mouldings since 1988.

It has developed a strong reputation for quality and service over many years, which the W.Howard Group has recognised, along with its manufacturing capability and latent available capacity.

Jonathan Grant, chief executive of the W.Howard Group, said: "The synergy between the two successful businesses has created an offer to the market which will further help its valued customers.”
