Meaco, the UK’s leading air treatment specialist focused on everyday home comfort, has secured a significant multi-million-pound investment from FourLeaf Capital, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s growth journey.
The investment follows a period of strong performance for Meaco. The company has grown rapidly in recent years as demand for high quality, energy efficient, low noise, air treatment appliances continues to increase globally. With the brand gaining international recognition and its product portfolio expanding, Meaco has reached a natural stage in its evolution where partnering with external investors will fuel the next phase of its growth.
Partnering with the FourLeaf founders, who have extensive experience of building businesses and scaling brands internationally, will provide Meaco with the strategic support to accelerate its ambition to become the leading air treatment brand across Europe.
Meaco will focus on expanding the reach of Europe’s favourite dehumidifier range, Arete, whilst continuing to expand into adjacent air treatment categories. A customer focused approach to product innovation, energy efficiency and quality, supported by the multiple award winning UK based design team, will remain at the heart of the business.
To support the next stage of growth, Conor Sugrue, ex Glen Dimplex, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect. Meaco founder, Chris Michael, will remain a significant shareholder in the business and will transition into the newly created role of Chief Product Officer, allowing him to focus more closely on product development and innovation.
Chris Michael, Founder and Chief Product Officer, Meaco, says:
“This investment represents an exciting new chapter for Meaco. FourLeaf have extensive experience in building businesses and scaling brands internationally, and I believe that partnering with them will help accelerate our growth and realise our ambition of becoming a leading European air treatment company.”
Conor Sugrue, CEO Meaco adds:
“I am thrilled to be joining Meaco at this exciting time. The company has an outstanding reputation for delivering high quality, energy efficient and innovative products. I look forward to working with Chris and the wider leadership team to unlock new opportunities for growth.” With the backing of FourLeaf Capital, Meaco is well positioned to continue its growth journey while maintaining its commitment to exceptional product quality, customer service and responsible innovation.
