"The strategic partnership with Whiteoak reflects what's possible when you know a business deeply enough to find the right path through a complex situation, not the fastest one."
ABOUT THE CLIENT
Headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, Arcadia is one of Australia’s leading designers and manufacturers of external solar shading systems, louvres, screens and architectural facades. Established in 1927, the business has been shaped across three family generations into a nationally recognised manufacturer with end-to-end capability, designing, manufacturing and installing architectural products across nine categories.
ABOUT THE BUYER
Whiteoak is an Australian private equity firm that partners with high-quality businesses to support their next stage of growth. Under the transaction, Whiteoak acquired a controlling interest in Arcadia through its Growth Fund II, bringing the capital and strategic support to help drive the company's next phase of scale.
About the Acquisition
Terrace Capital acted as lead M&A advisor to the shareholders of Arcadia in a process that resulted in Whiteoak acquiring a controlling interest in the business. The third-generation owners will continue leading the company alongside Whiteoak, ensuring continuity of the culture, relationships and operational expertise built over nearly a century.
The Terrace Capital team worked closely with the business owners to understand their priorities, guiding how the business was positioned, which investors were approached, and how the deal was structured to bring together equity, debt and management in a way that worked for all stakeholders.
