Notes to Editors:
Amcomri is a 'Buy, Improve, Build' group focusing on acquiring, integrating and enhancing specialist engineering services and industrial manufacturing businesses in the UK and Ireland. The Group provides niche technical services and products to a diverse range of industrial sectors and markets and has a significant focus on major infrastructure, transportation and energy companies.
The Group currently operates through the following two divisions:
· Embedded Engineering Division: provides specialist technical and engineering services for major industrial, infrastructure and transportation clients, typically with complex technical needs and undertaken in operating environments where safety and compliance performance are critical requirements. The division predominantly provides engineering services and support for their clients' capital intensive, mission-critical assets such as high voltage electrical transmission systems, petrochemical and continuous process operations, and large power generation plants.
· B2B Manufacturing Division: focuses on selective niche B2B markets or businesses, where the Group has identified an opportunity to achieve enhanced financial performance by leveraging an initially strong competitive market position that can subsequently be enhanced by the Group's industrial business improvement capabilities.
The Group operates across a diverse range of sectors and markets, including industrial, infrastructure and mass transportation. The Group deploys a structured 'Buy, Improve, Build' strategy with a track record of value enhancing acquisitions in the industrial environment. It has a particular focus on leveraging the Group's experience and track record relating to acquisitions arising from owner manager 'retirement' situations, where there are often no, or limited, alternative plans for succession in the business.
The Group currently comprises 15 operating companies. Post acquisition, the Group has a strong focus on facilitating and supporting its operating companies with organic growth initiatives, and the Group's businesses are well placed to take advantage of generally positive and resilient conditions in their respective niche end markets.
