HMK Automation & Drives, a UK supplier of industrial automation equipment, including drives, motion control, motors and gearboxes, has acquired Specific Environments (SEL), the High Wycombe UK-based provider of cleanrooms and controlled environmental facilities to the pharmaceutical, healthcare, defence and food sectors.
SEL has three main operational functions: civils, structures and finishing; HVAC, building management and fire protection; and electrical installation and maintenance.
According to Carl Krajewski, managing director of Specific Environments, significant funding has been put in place to allow the business to realise its full potential. Sales director Peter Saunders and technical director Paul Brown are well respected in the industry and will remain at the forefront of the operation.
HMK, based in Congleton, Cheshire, plans to use its skills in drives and controls to strengthen the HVAC and BMS offering from Specific.
The company says it will also bolster the operation of the business with the addition of a service and maintenance team.
