According to the Yorkshire Post, Hayes UK, a supplier of specialist safety, testing and servicing products to the plumbing and heating industry, has acquired Leeds-based Arctic Products, in a deal that will create the leading player in the British market.
Says the Post, the merged business will have combined sales of £5m and an international presence in the US, Canadian, Australian and French markets. Management believes that there is considerable potential for further growth in these and other, new overseas markets.
