Based in the USA and Canada, Nalco-Mobotec is a world leader in advanced emissions control and combustion optimisation solutions for utility and industrial applications; its patented technology allows plant operators to meet their emissions requirements while allowing for greater fuel flexibility, including the use of fossil and renewable fuels, whilst maintaining or improving current capacity. The newly acquired business will be a standalone entity within the Group. The transaction provides the basis to accelerate the expansion of the offering both in terms of geography and technology; building on over 90 existing worldwide contracts in North America, Europe and Asia. In Europe, a strong alignment between the company and the Group’s existing businesses will help to accelerate growth as it seeks to support owners of utility and industrial sites meet stringent emissions control legislation. Our aim is to build upon the track record of the business in the USA and develop successor technologies to those that have been delivered to date by the business from its core offices in San Francisco, Chicago and Niagara. We will look to supplement the existing team by bringing in experienced personnel to meet the expected international growth in emissions control opportunities. The acquisition comes after a period of sustained growth for the Power Industrial Group, which has grown rapidly over the past five years through a mixture of organic growth and acquisition. Following a MBO in 2007, the acquisition of Grayton Engineering in 2010 was augmented by significant investment from LDC, one of the UK’s leading Private Equity firms. On an annualised basis, the enlarged Group’s turnover will have increased to almost £70m, delivered by a full-time workforce of over 250 nationwide. David Hayle, CEO said: “This deal secures the long-term future of the Nalco-Mobotec technology and will ensure that it continues to provide market leading emissions reduction solutions. Whilst there is opportunity for the UK power generation and industrial markets, it also provides a route to expand the Group into targeted worldwide markets where legislation is driving significant changes to the way we generate electricity, both in terms of the fuels we burn and the emissions we emit, which ensures a strong and exciting future for the Group as a whole.” For further information, please contact Marketing at marketing@pjdltd.com Group Websites Affiliates Disclaimer Privacy Policy Site Map Peter J Douglas Engineering, PJD House, 6 Boundary Court, Willow Farm Business Park, Castle Donington, Derby, DE74 2UD Tel: +44 (0)1332 819550 Fax: +44 (0)1332 810142 E-Mail info@pjdltd.com We use cookies to anonymously track website statistics.
