INDUS acquires British company COLSON X-Cel in the future field of measurement and control technology - Seite 2

"The business model and product programme of COLSON and our subsidiary PCL complement each other," says Joerg F. Mayer, Managing Director of the INDUS portfolio company HORNGROUP. "This will enable the two operationally independent companies to pool expertise, expand capacities and benefit from their geographical proximity in terms of market cultivation."

"Based on its strong position in the UK market, COLSON is increasingly tapping into international growth potential, for example in North America and the Middle East," says Andrew Taylor, previous owner of COLSON. "As the new owner, INDUS offers the financial strength and the corresponding expertise to expand the market." The previous directors, Dean Groombridge and James Hinchliffe, will continue in their current roles.

Axel Meyer: “With the acquisition of COLSON, we are following INDUS’ principle of internationalisation, which, among other things, focuses strongly on local for local manufacturing. The ability to react quickly and flexibly to customer requirements and to produce small batch sizes locally with short delivery times is a key success factor for our SME portfolio companies."
