A Black Country engineering firm has bought out a local rival which it says will triple its machining capacity.
Halesowen-based Somers Forge, which specialises in forged parts ranging from small engine components to large shafts, has acquired Oldbury outfit A&B Richardson Engineering which manufactures tools and dies.
The undisclosed acquisition forms part of Somers Forge’s long-term plans to expand machining capacity and capabilities after it said it had seen an increase in demand for finished components.
