United Infrastructure is pleased to announce the acquisition of Simkiss Group (“Simkiss”), a leading engineering solutions provider across sectors including energy, utilities and infrastructure.

Founded more than 25 years ago and based in Rochdale, Simkiss specialises in the design and build of control systems, control panels and switchgear, with services spanning installation, testing, commissioning and ongoing maintenance, predominantly in the utilities sector.

The acquisition represents another important step in United Infrastructure’s continued growth across the energy, power and utilities markets, broadening its technical offering and enhancing its ability to deliver increasingly complex, end-to-end solutions for customers.

Neil Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of United Infrastructure, said:

“This acquisition is a strong strategic fit for United Infrastructure. Simkiss Group brings proven design and engineering expertise that enhances our technical capability across energy and power activities.

By investing in these skills, we are strengthening our ability to deliver more technical and integrated solutions for our customers operating in critical infrastructure.”

Paul Simkiss, Group Chairman of Simkiss Group, commented:
