en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ulrich, a UK manufacturer of front-end loaders and attachments, has announced the acquisition of LCR, a Hull-based company specializing in welding and fabrication with EN 1090 EXC3 certification. Ulrich's operations span the construction, waste and recycling, agriculture, and industrial sectors.
This acquisition is a key step in Ulrich's UK expansion and global growth strategy. Upon completion, LCR will be fully integrated into Ulrich's operations, with the combined manufacturing entity operating entirely under the Ulrich brand. The expertise, capabilities, and resources of both companies will be combined to drive efficiency, innovation, and long-term growth.
The acquisition adds a second manufacturing facility for Ulrich and expands its capabilities in delivering complex, high-specification, safety-critical steel structure engineering. This deal opens up further opportunities in key industries such as offshore, rail, renewable energy, defense, construction, and subsea engineering.
LCR operates a production facility of over 80,000 square feet in Hull, with decades of large-scale manufacturing experience and a highly skilled workforce. All existing positions have been retained, reflecting Ulrich's commitment to investing in talent, supporting regional industry, and strengthening UK manufacturing.
The Hull facility will become Ulrich's dedicated innovation and product development center, driving next-generation advanced products and engineering solutions. Plans are already underway to expand operations and recruit additional personnel as production accelerates.
This strategic acquisition solidifies Ulrich's position as a growing force in UK manufacturing and highlights the company's ambition to accelerate growth across multiple key markets.
Josh Copeland, Sales Director of Ulrich Attachments, said: "This is an incredibly exciting time for the company. The combined design and engineering elements of the business will place us in a very strong position to seize future opportunities."
