Griffon Launches Strategic Review of CPP AMES Operations in Australia and the UK
US conglomerate begins evaluation of alternatives for its Consumer and Professional Products unit amid performance pressures
Griffon Corporation has initiated a strategic review of its Consumer and Professional Products segment’s AMES operations in Australia and the United Kingdom, signalling a potentially significant shift in the management or structure of these international businesses.
The review, announced as part of a broader set of strategic actions by Griffon, will examine “strategic alternatives” for the unit, which is expected to generate about forty million dollars of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation in the fiscal year twenty twenty-six.
Industry analysts say the process could ultimately result in repositioning of the assets, partnerships, divestitures or other changes designed to enhance value for shareholders and sharpen the unit’s competitive focus.
AMES, a long-established provider of branded consumer and professional tools and outdoor lifestyle products within Griffon’s CPP division, operates across key global markets including Australia and the United Kingdom.
The CPP segment has faced uneven demand in recent periods, with softening revenue in several regions outside Australia noted in corporate filings, prompting senior leadership to consider structural realignment of underperforming business lines.
The strategic review follows corporate efforts to streamline operations and shift certain product lines to an asset-light model aimed at strengthening long-term profitability.
Griffon’s announcement did not specify a definitive timetable or potential outcomes for the review, but executives emphasised that the assessment will align with the company’s broader strategic priorities to improve margins and capital allocation.
The company’s diversified portfolio spans home and building products as well as consumer and professional products, with AMES representing an important international footprint within the latter.
The renewed focus on alternatives for the Australia and UK operations underscores the challenges and opportunities facing multinational manufacturing and branded consumer product firms in a shifting global economic environment.
