Ashfield-based nmcn has acquired, Lintott Control Systems Limited (LCS), a specialist designer and manufacturer of digitally-integrated, factory-built equipment and process software.

Nmcn said the deal built on its core objective of delivering customer value through integrated assets and services that target reduced whole-life costs.

nmcn chief executive officer, John Homer, said: “The cash position we’ve been able to build in recent years has enabled us to take the next step in broadening our offering to our clients.

“The acquisition of LCS strengthens our ability to offer innovative, customer focussed solutions to our clients in the water sector. We look forward to combining our own experience with our newly acquired colleagues’ skills and expertise to enhance our offering as the leading supplier to the water industry.”

David Owen, managing director at Lintott Control Systems, Norfolk, said: “We were attracted by the business development opportunities and nmcn’s ambitious growth plans. We look forward to supporting the wider business in achieving its growth objectives and in delivering exceptional customer service.”

The Lintott facility is integral to nmcn’s national infrastructure, with the entire team joining nmcn. David Owen and Jamie Thums remain as directors of LCS, with Mark Davy taking the role of operational lead.

John added: “We’re looking forward to welcoming on-board new colleagues and expanding our expertise within the water sector as we work together to grow our services and expertise across all of our key sectors.”
