Two Birmingham sites to merge following successful Thorite acquisition
Our acquisition of Thorite earlier this year resulted in an expansion of our locations across the UK. Within the Birmingham area we now have our original office in Oldbury and a Thorite branch based in Brierley Hill.
After much consideration, we have now decided to integrate the teams based at Brierley Hill and Oldbury, resulting in the closure of our Oldbury site.
Whilst technical and customer service activity will move to Brierley Hill, the main transactional sales activity currently managed at Oldbury will move to Skelmersdale.
Mike England, CEO of Flowtech, commented on the incoming site change in Birmingham:
“Flowtech’s acquisition of Thorite has been a pivotal moment for the business, allowing us to broaden our fluid power offering to customers and cement ourselves as a leader in power, motion and control.
“The strategy behind the acquisition has always been to add Thorite’s expertise into our own, and the merger of our two Birmingham sites is just the next phase of that transition as we continue on our path towards ‘One Flowtech’.
“We look forward to continuing to serve customers in the Birmingham area, ensuring that we are committed to keeping UK businesses moving into 2025 and beyond.”
