Hydrasun strengthens UK presence with acquisition of KC Controls

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of England based KC Controls, further strengthening our instrumentation capabilities and expanding our UK footprint.

KC Controls specialise in delivering world-class industrial process control and measurement instrumentation and flow measurement solutions from renowned manufacturers such as ABB, Parker Hannifin, and Micronics. Established in 1986, KC Controls has a proven track record in supplying product and service solutions to leading operators, contractors, and original equipment manufacturers across a diverse range of industries in the South of England. By joining forces with Hydrasun this provides KC Controls with complementary products and services to stimulate and accelerate growth.

The acquisition also supplements Hydrasun’s position as Parker Hannifin's largest instrumentation stockist and distributor the North of England and Scotland. It also builds on Hydrasun's distributorship in key international markets including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Senegal / Mauritania.

This strategic move also strengthens the diversification of the Hydrasun business with significant KC Controls revenues coming from within alternative traditional market sectors.
