A North West manufacturer of water treatment products and services that help protect heating systems has been sold to a listed Dutch industry giant.
Daresbury-based Sentinel sells its products internationally, and has been sold to Aalberts N.V, a business listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, employing over 16,000 people in more than 50 countries.
Aalberts was founded in 1975, and its services include piping systems, surface technologies and fluid control.
DWF's corporate team advised the shareholders of the Cheshire business, which includes Electra Private Equity plc, on the sale.
Partners Alasdair Outhwaite and James Cashman, associate Rebecca Gargary and solicitor Nur Alzubeydi provided legal advice.
Mr Outhwaite said: "We are pleased to play a key role in advising the leadership team on the sale of Sentinel Performance Solutions. We wish the business every success under its new ownership."
David Barrett, chief executive officer of Sentinel, said: "We would like to thank the DWF team for their guidance and support throughout the sale process."
