Crane Limited acquire Hattersley

On 30 January 2004 Crane Limited, a Crane Co company, purchased the Hattersley valve brand and business from Hattersley Newman Hender Limited, a subsidiary of Tomkins plc.

The acquired business supplies a range of branded valves for use in heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems for the commercial, industrial and institutional construction industry.

"The Hattersley business will be integrated into Crane Limited and further broaden our range of products and the fluid and gas handling solutions that we offer to the building services, industrial, water and gas markets", said Peter Wilson, Managing Director of Crane Limited.

Crane will market the Hattersley brand alongside its own Crane branded valves and fittings and these will continue to be represented by the existing Crane and Hattersley sales teams.
