Austral Monsoon purchases Industrial Door Engineering Limited Austral Monsoon is pleased to announce the acquisition of Industrial Door Engineering Limited (IDE) based in Northwich, Cheshire, England on 12 November 2009.
IDE is a manufacturer of a comprehensive range of industrial roller shutter products including steel, insulated and fire resistant roller shutters. It installs the products that it manufactures and supplies and installs a large range of other industrial door products including sectional doors, high speed doors and pre-hung hinged metal door units.
IDE has a strong presence in the building and construction markets in north England and Wales. It also supplies roller shutter products to resellers in England, Scotland and Wales.
IDE provides 24 hour emergency repair services for roller shutters and all other types of industrial doors in the northwest England, north Wales and Yorkshire areas.
As well as its head office in Northwich it has sales, contracting and service operations in Ossett, Yorkshire.
Martin Burke, the General Manager of IDE, has been appointed as the head of Austral Monsoon operations in the UK. Effective immediatly Martin will oversea the Dover Vanguard Roller Shutters Limited (DVRS) business based on Oldham, England.
The acquisition provides direct synergistic benefits through manufacturing integration of IDE and DVRS operations. For example, DVRS roll-forms its own lath and guide tracks, manufactures its own hoods and has in-house powder coating paint line. IDE does not have these capabilities. Greater utilisation of this equipment will benefit both businesses.
The product lines of IDE and DVRS are similar but IDE is focused on industrial products whereas DVRS is lighter product and relate to commercial and truck door markets. Therefore, Austral Monsoon's product base in the UK has been greatly expanded through the acquisition.
IDE's employees have a strong roller shutter culture and are extremely experienced. Austral Monsoon sees the IDE employee base as being a strong asset to leverage on for future growth in the UK market.
