Kingsdown Compressed Air Systems was founded in 1996 and serves a wide range of customers in all types of manufacturing industries, such as food & drinks, textiles, printing, and advanced manufacturing.
Atlas Copco Group is a multinational manufacturer headquartered in Stockholm.
Kingsdown will continue to operate as a stand-alone company within Atlas Copco Compressors UK, for the foreseeable future.
An extended product offering will include industrial gas generation and process cooling products, as well as Atlas Copco compressed air equipment, available from now on.
Philippe Ernens, Business Area President Compressor Technique at Atlas Copco Group, said: "Kingsdown is well renowned with strong sales and service and has an impressive market presence in its region.
"This acquisition is fully in line with our strategy to further enhance geographical presence and will help us serve present and future customers even better."
The purchase price has not been disclosed. The company will become part of the service division within the compressor technique business area.
Sam Baker, Managing Director, Kingsdown Compressed Air Systems, added: "Given the strong history under Baker family ownership, as I exit the business to pursue other ventures, it was vital for me to ensure Kingsdown’s loyal customers and staff benefit under a new era of ownership, and that the business continues to grow. As a global market leader, Atlas Copco offers this opportunity for all."
