The acquisition adds Jade to Woodlands group, already employs more than 210 people across its consumer, trade and timber divisions.Woodlands is also the firm behind consumer brand Tiger, which operates more than 30 showsites across the UK.
Ryan Fozard, managing director of Jade Windows, said: “Jade was started by my dad, David Fozard, and we have spent 30 years building it into something we are hugely proud of, here in Batley. What mattered most for the next chapter was finding a partner who understood what makes Jade, Jade - the people, the craftsmanship, and the relationships we have built locally over decades. Woodlands is that partner."
Jade will retain its name, its Batley manufacturing operation and its existing team, with Mr Fozard continuing to lead the busines as managing director.
Ross Moran, CEO of Woodlands Home & Garden Group, said: “Yorkshire is full of exceptional businesses with deep customer trust and real craft heritage, and Jade is one of the best examples I have come across. Ryan, David and all of the Jade team have built something very special in Batley."
