INVESTMENT AND INNOVATION

VALCAN ENTERS A NEW ERA OF GROWTH
Valcan has entered an exciting new phase following the successful completion of a management buyout led by Managing Director Alan Lamming. The transaction creates a strong platform for future investment, growth and innovation while maintaining the customer-focused approach that has been central to Valcan’ s success. For customers, suppliers and partners, it remains business as usual, with the same products, services and commitment to support.
Strengthening Leadership As part of its continued evolution, Valcan has strengthened its Senior Leadership Team. Alan Lamming is joined on the Board by Gavin Besley, Commercial Director, and a new Chief Financial Director, whose appointment will be announced shortly. Together, the team is focused on supporting customers, strengthening the business and driving long-term growth.
Investing in People and Innovation Investment in people remains a key priority. Throughout 2026, Valcan has expanded its internal sales support function to enhance customer service, technical support and project assistance. The company remains committed to developing talent and building the expertise needed to support customers and partners.
Valcan is also increasing its focus on research, development and testing. Recent achievements, including CCPI assessment of both the organisation and its VitraDual ® and Ceramapanel ® product ranges, demonstrate its commitment to transparency, technical excellence and trusted product information.
Completing the management buyout marks an important milestone for Valcan and creates a strong platform for future growth.
Ongoing investment in product development, testing and continuous improvement will help ensure the business continues to meet the changing needs of the façade sector while delivering high standards of safety, performance and compliance.
Building for the Future Despite challenges across the construction industry, Valcan sees significant opportunities for businesses willing to invest and adapt. Through strategic investment, team development and a focus on continuous improvement, the company is creating a stronger foundation for future growth.
Alan commented;“ Completing the management buyout marks an important milestone for Valcan and creates a strong platform for future growth. We are investing in our people, capabilities and products while remaining focused on supporting our customers and strengthening the business for the long term.”
As Valcan begins this new chapter, its focus remains on supporting customers, investing in its people and delivering continuous improvement across its products, services and expertise..
