Earlier this month we announced the exciting news that Wakefield Acoustics were acquired by CECO Environmental, and become part of a global organisation under the ‘Thermal Acoustics’ business platform. CECO are a leading environmentally focused, diversified industrial company whose solutions protect people, the environment, and industrial equipment.
The news was welcomed by all employees at Wakefield Acoustics, especially given that we share the same core values to CECO in protecting the environment and people through the design and implementation of our industrial noise control solutions.
So the question is – ‘what changes at Wakefield Acoustics’? Well, the answer is not a great deal really. Wakefield Acoustics will trade under the same name since our foundation in 1980. We will continue to provide quality acoustic products manufactured from our facility in West Yorkshire. And, we will continue with the same management, sales, engineering and production teams. What is really exciting about this new venture is that Wakefield Acoustics now become part of a larger team, with an international platform, further expanding the opportunities for us to bring our skill and expertise in reducing and controlling industrial noise.
As we now operate under the ‘Thermal Acoustics’ banner, we will work closely with our new colleagues in CECO Burgess-Aarding, a leader in industrial silencer technologies, with a history dating back to early 1900’s. Wakefield Acoustics products are complimentary to those of Burgess-Aadring, and allow us to provide combined noise reduction solutions for larger industrial and power generation sites.
Whilst additional market opportunities may open up for Wakefield Acoustics with the recent acquisition, our core focus still remains on serving the UK market for our core industries of power generation, oil and gas, construction, waste water and general industrial manufacturing.
