ENERMECH, the acquisitive Scottish engineering business, has bought an African equipment testing firm for £3 million to increase its exposure to the continent's expanding oil and gas industry.
Aberdeen-based Enermech said the acquisition of South Africa's Water Weights International SA (Pty) will help the mechanical engineering group accelerate growth in South Africa and in key East and West African countries.
Based in Cape Town, Water Weights International specialises in load testing equipment like cranes and serves industries including marine as well as oil and gas.
