Wakefield-based Green’s Power, a global provider of heat transfer, economiser and industrial boiler products, has been acquired by Staffordshire-based Ropsley.

Ropsley is the holding company of PJD Mechanical Engineering, which operates primarily out of Doncaster.

The parent company of PJD, which also owns engineering business Piper Services, amongst others, has made the strategic move to acquire Green’s Power to provide a full end-to-end solution to a variety of sectors.

This acquisition means the expansion of one of the largest independent groups in the UK Power and Industrial markets, with a team of more than 250 specialists and an annual turnover exceeding £40m.

It will see the launch of a fully integrated solution, from steam boiler and pressure part design and engineering, to manufacture, installation and then repair and maintenance for a variety of sectors.

PJD’s strengths lie in site installation, equipment repairs, and servicing, while Green’s focuses on design engineering and manufacturing, with multiple locations across the UK.

David Hayle, at Ropsley, said: “We’re really please to announce this acquisition and are keen to begin integrating the businesses and offering a seamless solution to customers new and old.

“Now that the economic challenges of the past few years are behind us, we’re very much setting our sights on further exponential growth and look forward to supporting this iconic business with the next phase of its development.”

Chris Wright, operations director of Green’s Power, said: “Green’s has been operating within the industry since the 1821 and over this period, it hasn’t just become  an iconic business within Yorkshire, it has established itself as a global leader in the provision of boiler equipment and services.

“We’re now very much looking forward to the future, and our partnership with the Ropsley portfolio, to continue being a truly progressive developer of solutions within the group’s core sectors”
