Galco Group Enters a New Chapter

We are entering a new chapter at Galco Group. Calmly, responsibly, and with a clear focus on the future. This marks an important moment for us.

After almost 60 years of history, which began in 1967 with our founder, Joe Quinn; our Board has made the decision to sell Galco Group to DOT, the leading Nordic Galvanizing and Paint Group.

For us, this is not a change of direction. It is a deliberate step to strengthen the foundations of the business and secure its long-term development.

– We are pleased that the company is moving into the hands of people who recognise its potential and want to continue building on it – says Fiona Quinn, Board Member of Galco Group and daughter of our founder. – We would also like to thank all our employees. Galco is where it is today because of their commitment, experience and hard work over many years.

We chose DOT because we share the same view on how a business should be grown: responsibly, with high standards and a genuine commitment to environmental responsibility.

– We have been very impressed by the quality of customer service at Galco and by the strategic direction of the entire Galco Group – says Henrik Steen-Jørgensen, CEO of DOT. – We see Galco as a strong platform with significant long-term development potential.

What does this mean for our customers?

Continuity and reassurance. Our people remain with the business on unchanged terms, and the current management team continues to lead Galco Group.

– We have a clear plan and we will deliver it step by step – explains Ed Byrne, Managing Director of Galco Group.– Working alongside DOT gives us access to valuable experience, not only in hot dip galvanizing, but also in paint solutions.

This transition is about building on what already works, while creating the right conditions for sustainable, long-term growth across the entire Galco Group.
