After more than 100 years of independence, marine and industrial engine, generator and gearbox specialist WaterMota has been acquired by the Netherlands based B&N Group.
Headquartered in Twello, the B&N Group consists of Brinkmann & Niemeijer Motoren BV, De Maas BV, Sound Proof Systems BV and B&N Foreign Activities BV. The group specialises in diesel engines, power plants, pump sets, power packs and sound absorbing cases, supplying to the industrial market as well as the shipping and pleasure boating market.
WaterMota is a UK marine and industrial distribution company and exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for Craftsman Marine, Doosan Infracore, D-I Industries, Hyundai SeasAll, JMP and Whisper Power. There is also a sales and service agreement with AZCUE for England and Wales.
WaterMota MD, Mike Beacham, said: “The acquisition gives WaterMota the strength of a larger group which is extremely highly regarded and gives us a comprehensive presence in the industrial market which is one of our growth areas.
“WaterMota will remain an individual company but as a group we will be able to share knowledge and draw on the strengths of the other companies and staff within the group.”
Staff numbers at WaterMota are expected to increase following the acquisition.
