Technical Textile Services, commonly known as Techtex, a supplier of healthcare and industrial fabrics has bought two counterparts in a move which makes it one of the largest companies of its kind in the U.K. The Manchester, U.K.-based company sources nonwoven fabrics and manufactures a range of dry and wet wipes including branded, private label and generic products.
The company has acquired Whitminster International and Klenzeen, both headquartered in Stafford, U.K., for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition creates a group with revenues of more than £20 million and a workforce above 90.
David Beardsworth, one of Techtex’s founding partners, will serve as sales director. He wil be joined by Steve Oldfield and operations director Brian Whitney as well as Whitminster and Klenzeen directors Julian Ashworth, who becomes general manager, and David Thompson, who becomes sales manager.
The buyout is the fourth by Techtex in the past decade.
"These acquisitions will further strengthen our offer to customers in healthcare and industry, and will enhance our offer to new markets, including significant overseas opportunities,” says Beardsworth. "Current customers of all the companies now under Techtex should know that it is business as usual, and thanks to our combined resources, we are focused on an even keener approach to customer service, technical expertise and product quality."
