Coriant announces the acquisition of Wescott
Coriant, the industrial and infrastructure maintenance services group, backed by H.I.G Capital, welcomes Wescott to the group, as part of its strategy to build a leading player in the maintenance, repair, and optimisation of critical infrastructure.
Wescott is a specialist provider of coatings, rope access, fire protection and asset integrity services across both UK and international markets. From its foundations as an industrial coatings and access services provider, Wescott has developed strong expertise across the renewables, defence, marine, petrochemical and infrastructure sectors.
The acquisition continues Coriant’s inorganic growth strategy and enables the business to provide a broader range of services to both new and existing industrial and infrastructure customers. Wescott brings complex access and specialist coatings capabilities to Coriant, as well as, expanding the group’s position in defence and renewables, adding the ability to support most major North Sea offshore wind operators.
Wescott will continue to operate under its established brand, maintaining the reputation, technical expertise, and strong customer relationships it has built over many years.
The acquisition of Westcott follows the recent birth of Coriant. This brought together Rainham, Zenith and TEi alongside the more recent acquisitions of CVS and SCA to form a family of best-in-class industrial services providers operating under their own well-recognised brands.
