Leadec, the leading global service specialist for factories, has acquired Elmleigh Electrical Systems Limited as of 09/30/2022. Elmleigh is a process automation specialist and systems integrator for blue chip customers, including some of the largest operators in the food and beverage and parcel distribution sectors throughout the UK and Europe.
“Elmleigh offers complete end-to-end services for the integration of electrical and mechanical automation systems and has long-standing customer relationships,” says Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of Leadec. “With our subsidiary Diversified Automation, we already have a strong footprint in the parcel distribution sector in the USA. Elmleigh will complement it in Europe and also bring its expertise for the food and beverage industry – two growth markets in which we want to expand strategically.”
Established in 1984, Elmleigh is today one of the leading full-service system integrators for automation systems in food processing and parcel sortation. Services include electrical and mechanical installations, ATEX installations, control panel assembly, project management, design, software, and control cabinet fabrication. The team at Elmleigh have successfully completed over 7000 projects. It is currently more than 50 members strong and is supported by over 120 trusted contractors across a wide range of disciplines.
“In Leadec, we have found a strong partner to help us achieve our further expansion plans for Elmleigh. In particular, the strong international footprint offers new opportunities to expand our business outside of the UK. The Elmleigh team have always had the ability to rise to the challenge and this exciting development will offer new challenges and opportunities for the ever-expanding team. We are all looking forward to working closely alongside the Leadec team,” says Managing Director Simon Sliwinski. He will lead the business integration and continue to manage the business unit.
