Halifax-based supplier to the foundry industry, John Winter, has acquired CAT International's manufacturing facility in the single largest investment in the company's 50-year history.
In a move that will see John Winter cement its position as one of the leading UK manufacturers and suppliers to the foundry industry, the independently-owned company will take on CAT’s Warwick manufacturing facility, products, and existing employees and create more jobs as part of the deal.
CAT International is a leading manufacturer of specialist foundry consumables, with two sites in the UK.
Following the acquisition, it will continue to trade from its head office in Hixon, Staffordshire as John Winter, which was founded in 1963 and is based on Copley Avenue, takes over its 4,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Warwick.
