“This is a company transforming acquisition for National Hire’s equipment sales and support business. Sykes pumps employ advanced technology and are regarded as a premium brand in the global pump industry. Sykes Group provides scale, volume and distribution opportunities for National Hire that will help underpin future growth,” said Andrew Aitken, managing director of National Hire.
“The acquisition enables us to expand our pump distribution into a number of new overseas markets. Over the longer term, we believe this will also create significant export opportunities for Allight’s lighting towers and other product lines,” added Aitken.
