A North East weighing and calibration firm is hoping to extend its services after acquiring another local company.
Gateshead-based weighing specialists Northern Balance has announced the acquisition of A1 Scales, which supplies weighing equipment and complementary weighing services. Northern Balance said the deal would strengthen its position as a full-service weighing solutions provider.
As part of the deal, Northern Balance will retain all of A1’s engineering and back-office team members, with company director Maureen Whittle joining Northern Balance’s business administration and engineering functions. The two companies said A1 Scales would be “fully integrated” and would trade under Northern Balance at its Gateshead head office.
