AVK Holding A/S acquired 100% interest in TALIS Group’s UK operations. Going forward, the business will trade as Atlantic Plastics Ltd. and continue to operate out of its head office and manufacturing base in Bridgend, South Wales.
Atlantic Plastics has a strong portfolio of industry brands including ATPLAS below-ground meter boxes, EBCO gunmetal valves and fittings, and Talbot push-fit fittings with a strong market position in the UK market.
Strong market position
The valve part of the Talis UK business remains in the scope of TALIS Group and is not part of the acquisition of TALIS UK. The product range of Atlantic Plastics will supplement the already strong market position of the AVK Group in the UK water and gas market with valves and hydrants (traded by AVK UK) and electrofusion fittings (traded by the Fusion Group) as well as site services under the Glenfield-Invicta brand.
The current management remains in place led by Managing Director, James Fry, and the company will continue as a stand-alone operational company in the AVK Group. The AVK Group welcomes Atlantic Plastics Ltd. and looks forward to a successful partnership.
