Acteon Group has acquired Bruce Anchor.
The subsea surfaces group made the move to improve its “capabilities in the provision of temporary and permanent mooring systems”, according to a spokesperson.
Bruce Anchor was founded in 1972.
Reporting to Bernhard Bruggaier, Acteon’s Executive Vice President of Operations, Bruce Anchor’s Director of Sales, Steve Broadbent, will manage the business. He will be supported by the founder, Peter Bruce, during the transition into Acteon.
Mr Bruggaier said: “The acquisition strengthens Acteon’s offering to its global client base. Whilst the products are complementary to those already in our Group companies, we will ensure that Bruce Anchor retains its independence to allow our moorings businesses to offer the best possible technical solutions for all applications. We very much look forward to working with Steve and the team.”
