Products specialist Wrekin has joined forces with four other European firms to form civil engineering “supergroup” Civitec.
Road ironworks specialist Wrekin will now work alongside Product Industriels Lorrains (P.I.L), Fonderies de Saint Dizier (FSD), Geoworks, and Encotel who are all involved in the design, specification and manufacturing of products for the civil engineering industry .
The group aims to “contribute to the development of sustainable and resilient infrastructure” and boasts a combined turnover of £100m employing 150 staff.
Simon Turner, commercial director at Wrekin, said: “Helping to found Civitec Group is an exciting next step in Wrekin’s history, and one that will add to our legacy in civil engineering.
“Our fellow members match our ambition for growth and expansion, which means we can learn from each other and make a greater contribution to the design and manufacture of specialist products loved by contractors and clients.
“Each member brand brings a unique perspective and specialist skills, enhancing our ability to solve complex problems and deliver comprehensive solutions.
“We’re all stronger together, whether that’s through knowledge sharing or combined spending power, which makes 2024 a particularly interesting and opportune year for us all.
“Wrekin’s existing customers and partners can expect the same high-level of service and product quality, but with more to look forward to as we make our offering stronger and stronger.”
The group’s portfolio includes projects in transportation, water management, environmental engineering and urban development.
Civitec said it will “harness the power of digital transformation to streamline processes, reduce waste and increase productivity, as well as invest in talent development to provide opportunities for continuous learning and growth.”
