TAG Safety sold to US rival

AN Oldham company which trains staff who need to work at height has been sold to a US rival for an undisclosed sum.
TAG Safety has been bought by Capital Safety Group – which has its UK offices in Runcorn’s Manor Park – which is one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of fall protection, confined space and rescue equipment.
The Manchester-based corporate finance team of CLB Coopers has advised TAG Safety on the deal which expands Capital European’s presence.
TAG Safety, which is based in Greenfield, had sales of £2m last year and employs 12 staff.
