Laybond is one of the leading manufacturers of flooring adhesives, roofing systems and general building products in the UK.  The company's brand portfolio includes Gripfill™, the market leading gap-filling adhesive. 

CBPE backed the MBO of Laybond from its former parent Jarvis plc in September 2000. The business was subsequently sold to Bostik, a leader in the adhesives and sealants marketplace, owned by Total SA.  CBPE achieved a return of 2.1 times its investment.
