Amcomri Group, the fast-growing business focused on British precision engineering and quality manufacturing activities, has confirmed the acquisition of JA Harrison (Manchester) Limited, the leading specialist manufacturer of gaskets and seals and provider of sealing technologies on a worldwide basis.
Originally founded in 1900 as metal foundry and mill furnishers serving the textile industry, JA Harrison’s expertise is renowned around the world and across many specialist industry sectors providing products and technology to OEMs and other manufacturers. The business has expanded through organic growth and strategic acquisition and now provides the widest range of gaskets and associated sealing products.
JA Harrison relocated to Middleton, Manchester in 2017 where it occupies a purpose-built 32,000 sq ft factory and office complex. The business has maintained its market-leading position through continued investment in the latest machinery and quality-focused accreditations.
Hugh Whitcomb, CEO of Amcomri Group, said, “JA Harrison is a well-invested and well-run business that fits well into our specialist engineering division alongside Industrial Valve Services which repairs, refurbishes and re-certifies industrial-scale valves and recently acquired the Valero-focused business of Emerson in Pembrokeshire.”
“We are delighted that Keith Shepherd has decided to remain with the business both as a Director and a minority investor and we look forward to working with him to continue the success the business has enjoyed over many years.”
