BRADFORD-based Ormandy Rycroft Engineering has completed a double acquisition.

Ormandy, which is based in Lidget Green, has acquired heating ventilation and air conditioning solutions provider HRS Hevac Ltd as well as plates and gaskets supplier HeatExchangerSpares.com from Canadian heat exchanger manufacturer Exchanger Industries Ltd.

HES’s site in Watford will continue operations while employees from its Elland facility will transfer to Ormandy’s manufacturing site in Bradford.

David Dzimitrowicz, managing director of Ormandy, said: “Both Hevac and HES are established names in the HVAC industry, with strong reputations for supplying quality systems and spares for commercial and public buildings around the world.

“The acquisitions expand our product range while allowing us to leverage the full potential of our manufacturing facility in Bradford.

“Both Ormandy and HRS have excellent reputations for bespoke design and manufacturing for water heating, cooling and storage solutions.”

Austen Adams, of Avingtrans PLC, which owns Ormandy, said the acquisitions will strengthen Ormandy’s offer as a leading provider of offsite and heat exchange solutions.

He added: “We are confident that, through these acquisitions, we will not only be able to take greater control of the supply chain but can also release untapped potential in the market to further strengthen our position.”
