## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in 1997 and is based in Gateshead where it operates from a leasehold property and manufactures metal ceiling grids. It did not have any third-party customers, only making sales to Zentia.

The Company employed 20 members of staff as at the date of our appointment as Joint Administrators.

The Group was acquired by Knauf International GmbH (‘Knauf’) in 2019 but due to European Commission competition requirements Knauf had to subsequently divest the Company and its parent Zentia in early 2020.
