Enhanced Control Systems Ltd (ECS) are pleased to announce that effective as of 2nd March 2021, we will be joining AVK-SEG UK Ltd. As part of a continuous growth and expansion plan AVK-SEG UK Ltd (AVK) have acquired the ECS business, presenting us with an incredible opportunity to create the scale we believe we need to respond to the growing requirements of our valued clients.
United by a common business culture and unrivalled commitments to customer service, this milestone acquisition for AVK will enable them to add ECS’s key technological capabilities, assets, and additional services to its already comprehensive service offering – further strengthening AVK’s position as the UK’s leading critical power solutions provider.
“At ECS we’ve always believed in offering the very best engineered solutions for our customers. There’s a clear alignment between our two business operations and with plenty of complementary specialisms, the deal will create additional value through synergies in shared best practice and technologies. The combined strength of both AVK and ECS will have an enviable client list from day one, including many of the world’s leading financial institutions, utility suppliers, pharmaceutical giants and the largest hyperscale data centre providers. We look forward to offering the most comprehensive levels of service and control solutions to all of our clients – old and new.” – Graham Port
“Both AVK and ECS are well established as industry-leading providers of critical power and control solutions for a wide range of clients across the UK and Ireland. By combining these already successful business operations we are creating an enviable new force in the market, with the scale, quality and breadth of competencies needed to meet our clients’ increasingly complex control and critical power protection requirements. Responding to the increasingly international outlook of our clients, we are also building a platform from which we can grow into the most trusted power solution specialist across the EMEA region, with the capability to follow our customers globally. This is a truly exciting opportunity for everyone involved, and on behalf of everyone here at AVK we’d like to welcome the ECS team, and we look forward to working together as ‘The Power People’” – Chris Pritchard, Managing Director, AVK-SEG
