FAUN-Zoeller UK announces the acquisition of C.P. Davidson LTD as part of its UK strategic plan. C.P. Davidson’s Ltd is a hire company based in Chorley, Northwest England. With CPD joining FZUK, it will help add to their offering, the customer base, technology and of course the service network of both organisations, which are complimentary and will help further improve customer support.

The limited company CPD was established in 1991 with an excellent reputation in the hire and contract hire segment for the municipal market in the UK for refuse collection vehicles, skip and hook loaders, and provide complete repair and maintenance contracts.

The Davidson family are no strangers to the group and have been involved with SEMAT and ZOELLER since 1998, supplying bodies and lifters to local authorities. This will allow FZUK to expand its growth of ECOTEC products into the public and private sector market and gain access to the hiring segment in the UK.

Simon Hyde commented on the acquisition “We welcome the Davidson family into the group and believe this will be a great success.
