23rd July, 2024 - Kingsdown Compressed Air Systems Limited (“Kingsdown”), a distributor of compressed air and other equipment, has become part of Atlas Copco Group, after being acquired by Atlas Copco UK Holdings Ltd.
Kingsdown was founded in 1996 and is located in Wrotham, Kent. The company has a wide range of customers in all types of manufacturing industries, such as food & drinks, textiles, printing, and advanced manufacturing.
“Kingsdown is well renowned with strong sales and service and has an impressive market presence in its region”, said Ariel Rubinstein, General Manager, Atlas Copco Compressors UK & Ireland. “This acquisition is fully in line with our strategy to further enhance geographical presence and will help us serve present and future customers even better. I would like to welcome our new colleagues from Kingsdown to Atlas Copco Group.”
“Given the strong history under Baker family ownership, as I exit the business to pursue other ventures, it was vital for me to ensure Kingsdown’s loyal customers and staff benefit under a new era of ownership, and that the business continues to grow. As a global market leader, Atlas Copco offers this opportunity for all,” said Sam Baker, Managing Director, Kingsdown Compressed Air Systems Limited.
The company has 13 employees and revenues of 2.4 MGBP in 2023.
The purchase price is not disclosed. The company will become part of the service division within the Compressor Technique Business Area.
