Doncaster-based Clyde Process and Stroud-based Redler have both become part of the multinational Schenck Process group, whose UK base was previously located in Stockport. Now all three companies are under one roof at Doncaster's Lakeside.
"All three companies are specialists in their fields," said Nick Jones, Schenck's managing director. "The merger means we can now supply products from nine different brands across the Schenck Process Group, allowing us to create bespoke packages which no other company can match.
The new organisation established its base in South Yorkshire because of the level of engineering expertise in the area. Doncaster also offers good transport links and potential for expansion because of the availability of land and a supportive approach to development.
