Bremworth announces strategic review
NZX-listed wool carpet manufacturer Bremworth (NZX: BRW) advises that the Board has
decided to commence a strategic review of its ownership structure.
Bremworth is New Zealand’s leading natural fibre broadloom carpet and rug manufacturing
business. Bremworth’s production facilities in Whanganui, Napier and Auckland, as well as its
recently established external supply chain, enable it to deliver innovative natural flooring
products aimed at making homes more desirable, healthier and sustainable. The company
also owns Elco Direct, one of the New Zealand’s largest wool buyers, purchasing wool at the
farm gate each year for Bremworth’s carpet business and for the wool exporters at large.
The decision to undertake this strategic review follows the finalisation of Bremworth’s
insurance settlement and recent approaches from parties expressing an interest in
Bremworth, in light of which the Board considers that undertaking a formal process to assess
potential offers for the business is in the best interests of shareholders.
The review is expected to take several months, and there is no certainty that any transaction
or other change will result. Bremworth has engaged Montarne to assist with the review.
Bremworth will be providing its FY25 half year results for the six months ended 31 December
2024 next week. In addition to an overview of financial performance and outlook for the
remainder of the financial year, Bremworth will outline strategies to improve performance
given the ongoing challenges to the business.
