Broadstairs based gas fire maker Magiglo, has acquired the Suncrest Surrounds business based in Peterlee County Durham, from Jourdan Plc. Formed in 1970, Suncrest is the UK's leading dedicated manufacturer of mantelpieces, electric suites and fires. Suncrest operates its timber and metal working facilities in County Durham and Staffordshire.

Magiglo Managing Director &amp; Chairman, Clive Le Baigue commented &quot;The UK fire and fire place market grows ever more competitive and requires manufacturers to be creative in design and new technology. The acquisition of Suncrest means that our company now has the most sophisticated and technically advanced fireplace manufacturing units in the world and offers great scope for further expansion. Suncrest take pride in the craftsmanship of the products they provide, offer excellent service and a wide variety of choice. These are values shared with Magiglo in equal measures&quot;

&quot;As we look to cement Magiglo's position in the market by continuing to provide industry leading quality in product and service, it is important that we increase our manufacturing capability and broaden our customer base. The acquisition of Suncrest will enable us to accomplish these objectives. We believe that Suncrest and Magiglo will compliment and strengthen each other and we look to the future with considerable confidence.&quot; Clive Le Baigue concluded.

Suncrest Surrounds and Magiglo are to become subsidiaries of a newly formed holding company, CJ Group Limited. The companies will continue to trade as separate entities for the foreseeable future

Further announcements will be made regarding the structure of the group and its subsidiaries in due course.
