Under the agreement, Zünd UK will join a network of companies that stretches around the world. Zünd UK has been an official distribution and service partner of Zünd Systemtechnik since 1993, but the acquisition deal will see the company integrated as part of the global Zünd operation.

The move comes after Zünd UK in February appointed Stuart Cole as managing director and, speaking after the acquisition was confirmed, Cole says the deal will be of significant benefit to UK customers.
 
“On a day-to-day basis, our customers won’t see any change to the service provided by their Zünd UK team,” Cole says, adding: “They’ll have the benefit of the highest quality Swiss engineering together with the British mindset of Zünd UK, based in St Albans.

The acquisition will strengthen our position commercially ensuring future stability and help us to continue our UK growth

“The acquisition will strengthen our position commercially ensuring future stability and help us to continue our UK growth. As a result, we are on an immediate recruitment drive to grow our engineering and sales forces to further improve our service quality and capability.”

Oliver Zünd, chief executive of Zünd Systemtechnik, adds: “This acquisition represents an important milestone in our company history, and we are proud to have our own representation in the United Kingdom moving forward. 

“There is no doubt in my mind that, together with Zünd UK’s highly qualified and experienced staff, we will be able to offer our UK and Irish customers the best possible support, now and in the future.”
