Managing director of Aerco, Rob Laughton, said: "Aerco is already a leading distributor of electrical components in the UK and this acquisition will strengthen our offering of cable, wire and associated accessories and widen the range of products that we offer our customers. We are totally committed to building on the good work that Electro Cable has carried out over the past three decades."
Electro Cables is a UL registered company that conforms to ISO 9000 quality management standards and has a reputation for service and quality. Aerco will integrate the activities of the business with its existing operations over the coming months.
Electro Cables managing director, Ann Hayes, said: "When Gordon (Sears, managing director) and I decided it was time to retire we sought a company that we felt would carry on the programme of work and support of our customers who we have been committed to for more than 30 years. We decided Aerco was that company and are delighted these plans have come to fruition."
