Kingsdown Compressed Air Systems Limited, a distributor of compressed air and other equipment, has been acquired by Atlas Copco UK Holdings Ltd and become part of Atlas Copco Group.
Kingsdown was founded in 1996 and is located in Wrotham, Kent. The company has a wide range of customers in all types of manufacturing industries, such as food & drinks, textiles, printing, and advanced manufacturing. They have been an HPC (Kaeser) distributor since 1996.
“Kingsdown is well renowned for 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 our geographical presence and will help us serve present and future customers even better. I would like to welcome our new colleagues from Kingsdown to Atlas Copco Group,” said Ariel Rubinstein, General Manager, Atlas Copco Compressors UK & Ireland.
“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,” said Sam Baker, Managing Director, Kingsdown Compressed Air Systems Limited.
The purchase price is not disclosed. The company will become part of the service division within the Compressor Technique Business Area.
