MHP acquire Wear & Spillage Supplies

Combined product and service offering creates stronger group and further improves customer experience 

MATERIALS Handling Products Ltd (MHP) have announced the acquisition of Wear & Spillage Supplies Ltd. (WSS), marking a significant milestone in the development of both companies. The intention is to strengthen the group by combining the product and service offerings of both MHP and WSS to further improve the customer experience.

MHP are one of the leading providers of rubber and polyurethane screen media, wear-resistant linings, impact protection, and spillage control equipment to the minerals extraction, processing, and waste and recycling industries and provide a full range of associated specialist site services.

WSS are one of the main agents for Linatex rubber lining, wear, and impact protection products, and hoses, for Weir Minerals Europe and offer a full installation and repair service.

MHP say the clear synergy between the two companies provides the ideal platform for them to join forces. WSS will continue to trade as a wholly owned subsidiary of MHP, with the entire staff and workforce retained to operate the business as usual.

Andy Walker has joined the MHP team to ensure that WSS customers continue to receive the superior service that the bulk handling industry has received throughout his career.

Simon Drohan, managing director of MHP, said: ’Andy’s knowledge and expertise will remain available, supported by the teams at WSS and MHP. We look forward to sharing the benefits of this development with our staff and customers as we embark upon the next phase of our journey into the future.’
