Tension Control Bolts buys Disc-Lock Europe

Wrexham-based Tension Control Bolts (TCB), which has worked on projects including the Channel Tunnel Rail Link the Shard and stadia for the London 2012 Olympics, has snapped up distributor Disc-Lock Europe.

Kent-based Disc-Lock Europe distributes the Disc-Lock safety wheel nut.

TCB designs and manufactures high strength, bolted systems and has supplied products for a range of applications.

Disc-Lock Europe chairman Bob Hope said: "Although Disc-Lock has been acquired by TCB it will continue to operate in its own right as a company. Existing customers will not encounter any disruption to the normal service. Indeed, I will continue to be involved for the foreseeable future to ensure a smooth transfer of responsibilities."

Tim Stokes, managing director of TCB, said: "We are very pleased to have acquired Disc-Lock Europe Ltd. It is a well-established brand and a great fit with our existing business.

"Its range of Disc-Lock washers, nuts and wheel nuts provide a perfect match with our own existing product range of Tension Control Bolts. We are looking forward very much to developing the business and taking it and its products further."

From 1 July, TCB senior sales engineer Gary Mason will assume the day-to-day running of Disc-Lock Europe and the business will be based in Wrexham.

The financial details of the takeover were not disclosed.
