Oldham engineering firm acquired by food and beverage equipment provider

An Oldham engineering firm has been acquired, for an undisclosed sum, by DC Norris, a provider of food and beverage industrial cooking equipment, based near Cambridge.

Advanced Engineering, based in Middleton, has more than 40 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of mixing equipment for fluid processing applications.

Mixers are designed and manufactured in its purpose-built factory.

The sale enables the company to now enter into a new phase under the ownership of DC Norris.

The deal was facilitated with the support of Birmingham-based law firm, Wilkes’s corporate team, which worked with the tax and corporate finance advisers at BK Plus.

Associate solicitor, Kiran Munawar, led the corporate aspects of the transaction while senior associate, Katherine Proctor, provided essential support on property matters.

Kiran Munawar said: “The sale marks an exciting new chapter for the company, and we worked closely with all parties involved to ensure the deal was structured effectively and successfully executed.”

Advising the buyer, DC Norris, was Howes Percival, who provided legal support throughout the transaction process.
