This deal - which strengths Howdens' in-house manufacturing capabilities - follows the East Yorkshire FTSE-listed giant's acquisition of a small scale producer of worktops in 2020.
Andrew Livingston, chief executive of Howdens, said: “The acquisition of Sheridan gives us significant additional capacity and experience in the solid surface business.
"We have worked closely with Sheridan for many years and we are delighted to welcome them to Howdens.
"They are a trusted partner and great fit with our existing capabilities and we are excited about the significant growth opportunities that lie ahead.”
Sheridan provides an end-to-end service to customers for the manufacture, fabrication, laser templating and installation of solid surface worktops
