BOC Edwards to be rebranded

Following its change of ownership in May 2007 from The Linde Group, BOC Edwards has changed its name to Edwards, effective immediately.

“With the support of our new owners, CCMP Capital, we intend to invest in growing Edwards as a newly-independent privately-owned company, offering greater responsiveness and flexibility to surpass our customers expectations,” said Nigel Hunton, CEO.

Founded by F.D. Edwards in 1919, Edwards High Vacuum International was acquired by The BOC Group in 1968 and became BOC Edwards in 1997. The BOC Group was acquired by The Linde Group in September 2006. CCMP Capital purchased BOC Edwards’ equipment business from The Linde Group in May 2007.
