Plumbers merchant group Wolseley, parent company of Plumb Center and Parts Center, is believed to be exploring “strategic options” for its business in France.
An outright sale is thought to be the preferred option, according to the Brossette plumbers merchant chain to Saint-Gobain earlier this year, Wolseley’s Réseau Pro chain now represents most of its business in France.
Saint-Gobain, however, is market leader with some 25% of the French market, compared with Wolseley’s 7%.
