UK road marking business 8037 WJ has acquired Euromark GB, the road marking division of 3281 Eurovia UK, for an undisclosed sum.
Euromark, formerly2393 Ringway Roadmarking, manufactures and installs road marking throughout UK to local authorities. It employs around 450 people and WJ said there would be no redundancies.
Euromark has collaborated with WJ on contracts in the past, said Scott Wardrop, chief executive of Eurovia UK. Selling Euromark to WJ “was a strategic decision for us to ensure even greater flexibility and programme delivery of road markings for our clients."
The acquisition provides WJ with a further thermoplastic production facility based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, which will strengthen the materials supply capability of its growing operation.
Wayne Johnston, WJ group managing director, said the acquisition “is good news for all; with continued investment in research and development we can drive innovation and radically change the road marking industry.”
WJ Group specialises in permanent and temporary road markings, road studs, high friction and safety surfacing, asphalt repair, Hydroblast line removal and surface re-texturing. During the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, WJ put down 120km of temporary lane markings - the largest ever temporary road marking contract let in the UK, according to WJ. The company recently won a €4.1 million two-year contract for road markings for Leicester City and the surrounding county of Leceistershire, both long-term clients.
