The Taconova Group, a leading manufacturer of hydraulic solutions for heating, plumbing and solar energy applications, has completed the acquisition of the business activities of Sheffield-based Heatlink Technical Solutions Limited and Heatlink Client Services.
A statement said the acquisition would bring together the expertise and know-how of both companies and provide a greater offering to its customers.
Operating under the Taconova UK Limited name, the company will offer the existing Heatlink range as well as the entire Taconova portfolio – including hydronic balancing, area heating systems, system technology, valves and accessories, and pump technology – in the UK.
“We are very pleased to be part of the Taconova Group,” says Phil Harrison, pictured, managing director at Heatlink. “Like us, Taconova specialises in intelligent building technology solutions and, as an ISO-certified company, stands for quality and durability.
“For our existing customers and partners, nothing will change for the time being – except the name. In the long term, the larger organisational structure will enable us to make even better and faster progress and offer our customers and partners new solutions – vitally important in an industry that requires constant revision of software and services.”
All of the existing Heatlink employees will continue their roles under the Taconova name, while the team is expanding with the addition of two new sales-focused employees. Glenn Nixon has joined as national account manager OEM/Distribution, and Justin Allen has been appointed as HIU sales & specification manager.
