UK water treatment engineering group Ross-shire Engineering (RSE) has acquired a majority stake in Bristol-based motor control centre manufacturer GPS.
RSE, which has offices around the country including in Inverness, Glasgow, Leeds, Nottingham and Bath, did not disclose the size of its investment.
It said the deal would "further bolster" its power distribution and controls systems portfolio, which includes Blackburn Starling, TCS, Saftronics and DPS Group. It also said the acquisition expanded its "technical skills and resources", with 50 staff now based in the South West and southern Wales.
