GF closes acquisition of VAG-Group
GF has successfully closed the acquisition of VAG-Group, a renowned global manufacturer and supplier of water utility metal valve solutions based in Mannheim (Germany). The transaction value is approximately CHF 200 million. The acquisition strengthens GF’s market presence in the infrastructure sector, particularly in Europe and the Middle East.
VAG-Group’s offering of metal valves, which are a vital component of utility water networks, strongly complement GF’s existing capabilities, while offering further opportunities in new industrial segments. VAG-Group will be part of the GF Industry and Infrastructure Flow Solutions division, completing GF’s comprehensive portfolio for infrastructure projects with pipes, fittings, valves, connection technology, stormwater management and repair solutions.
“The acquisition of VAG-Group is an important step in making GF a global leader in Flow Solutions, delivering end-to-end solutions that help customers renew aging infrastructure and build resilient water networks for the future,” says Andreas Müller, GF CEO. “We are delighted to welcome the VAG team to GF as we continue to build innovative, sustainable flow solutions for our existing and new customers worldwide.”
VAG-Group will be included in the consolidated financial statements of GF from 1 October 2025. The acquisition was financed through operating cash flow and proceeds from the divestment of GF Machining Solutions.
