UK manufacturing firm acquires major global product line!
McMenon’s growth plans have taken an exciting leap forward with the acquisition of a state-of-the-art product line from Europe. A range of Variable Area (VA) Flowmeters will now be manufactured in Workington, Cumbria, after McMenon Engineering Services Ltd was chosen by global technology company ABB to make the VA flowmeter product portfolio that had been produced by ABB in Germany.
Following the acquisition, McMenon, under a supply partnership agreement, will continue to supply VA meters carrying the ABB brand and the meters remain part of ABB’s product offering.
McMenon CEO Anand Puthran said: “I take great pride in the fact that McMenon have been considered by ABB as a reliable new home for the VA flowmeter product portfolio.
“The fact that we were chosen over other global competitors is testament to the quality of our product engineering and manufacturing capabilities and reputation for innovation.”
Mr Puthran added: “This win for McMenon is also a win for UK manufacturing. Not often do we see manufacturing operations being transferred into the UK, especially from countries like Germany which are the best in the business.”
