- Tyman plc, a leading manufacturer of engineered components for fenestration and access solutions in the building products industry, designs, produces and distributes window and door hardware, seals, and roof, wall and floor access products to residential and commercial markets worldwide. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio encompassing handles, hinges, locks, cremone bolts, tilt-and-turn hardware, brush pile seals, profile seals, modeled foam seals, and concealed hardware systems including C.H.I.C. series and Proxima under brands such as AmesburyTruth, ERA, SchlegelGiesse, ZOO, Bilco, Giesse, Reguitti, Jatec and Access 360; it provides design support, application engineering and integrated supply chain services for window fabrication. Tyman operates through three main segments—North America (United States, Canada, Mexico), UK & Ireland, and International—across more than 100 markets with 11 subsidiaries, four production facilities, and over 650 employees generating approximately 150 million euros in annual revenue. Founded in 1993 as Lupus Capital (with heritage brands tracing to 1838) and headquartered in Denby, Derbyshire, United Kingdom, the company underwent a major strategic shift in 2024 when it was acquired by Quanex Building Products Corporation (NYSE: NX) in a cash-and-share transaction valued at around 788 million pounds, completed in August 2024 following shareholder and court approvals; this transaction delisted Tyman from the London Stock Exchange, restructured it as Tyman Limited (a Quanex subsidiary), relocated its registered office to Derbyshire, and positioned the combined entity for enhanced scale, diversified OEM supply, brand leadership, and 30 million dollars in projected annual cost synergies while integrating Tyman International under Quanex's global manufacturing platform.
