GF Strengthens Infrastructure with VAG-Group Deal

GF has completed the acquisition of VAG-Group, a global manufacturer of metal valve solutions for water utilities based in Mannheim, Germany. Valued at approximately CHF 200 million, the acquisition expands GF’s footprint in the infrastructure sector, with a focus on Europe and the Middle East. VAG-Group’s metal valve range complements GF’s existing capabilities, adding to its comprehensive portfolio for infrastructure projects, including pipes, fittings, valves, and repair solutions.

The integration of VAG-Group will take place within GF Industry and Infrastructure Flow Solutions, reinforcing its position in delivering end-to-end solutions for water networks and infrastructure renewal. The acquisition will be reflected in GF’s consolidated financial statements from 1 October 2025. Financing came from operating cash flow and proceeds from the divestment of GF Machining Solutions.

“The acquisition of VAG-Group is an important step in making GF a global leader in Flow Solutions, delivering end-to-end solutions that help customers renew aging infrastructure and build resilient water networks for the future.” said Andreas Müller, GF CEO.
