EnerMech has acquired Stork Australia and New Zealand for an undisclosed sum as part of a strategic plan to add scale to its integrity management business and diversify into new markets.
The newly-acquired business brings a portfolio of clients from sectors including defence, mining, chemicals and energy industries.
The consolidation strengthens EnerMech’s existing capabilities and solutions within inspections services, non-destructive testing services, industrial services, jetty refurbishment and tank repair, as well as access to the Cooperheat business still owned through a license agreement with Stork UK.
EnerMech chief executive Christian Brown said: “The addition of Stork’s former Australian and New Zealand business to our portfolio not only increases the scalability of our core service lines, solutions and agility, it also brings a great legacy into the EnerMech family.
“The crux of our strengths lies in the integrated solutions our multi-disciplined workforce delivers, by combining our experts, equipment, IP and technology our competence across the entire asset lifecycle continues to grow.”
Garry Ford, EnerMech's regional director for Asia Pacific, added: “We already have a strong pipeline of work in the region and the complementary expertise Stork locally brings to our integrity management and industrial services, increased geography and further industry diversification will accelerate our strategic plans for further growth in Australia and now New Zealand.
“Led by a strong senior operations and technical team, their reputation has been built on providing a consistent high quality and reliable project delivery and a strong safety performance.”
EnerMech has been operating in Australia for 13 years delivering on many projects and servicing operating assets across alternative energy, energy, infrastructure and mining sectors.
Anthony McAnulty, Stork’s regional director for Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, said: “We look forward to leveraging Stork’s success in this region and are now very excited to be part of the EnerMech team.
“This unified offering allows us to bring our core capabilities in ANZ to bolster EnerMech’s already strong suite of niche services.”
Formed in April 2008, EnerMech provides integrated mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and integrity services to the energy and infrastructure sectors, from pre-commissioning through operations and maintenance and late-life support/decommissioning.
