Gast Manufacturing Acquires Jun-air

Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Jan 4, 2007

In February 2006 Gast Manufacturing Inc, a unit of Idex Corporation, acquired Jun-Air (UK) Limited and its parent company Jun-Air International

Since then, Gast and Jun-Air have been working together to integrate the two companies.

This has resulted in both companies in the UK relocating to a new facility and from 1st January 2007, trading as one company - Gast Group Limited.

One company with two brands - Gast and Jun-Air.

Commenting on the acquisition, managing director Adrian Lee says: "This is great news for our customers.

A new 16,000 sq ft headquarters in Redditch with extensive office and warehouse facilities to ensure that Gast and Jun-Air customers receive the highest levels of service.

Expanded sales and internal customer applications teams will be available to help with enquiries for both Gast and Jun-Air products.

The additional space means that we can carry more stock to ensure that customers receive next-day delivery on standard products from both ranges".

The new company has the benefit of offering a complete solution to customers from a single supplier with the resources from Gast USA and Jun-Air Denmark.

A new computer system in Redditch will also provide better access to technical support, faster quotations, improved order processing, and quicker response times for technical queries, all of which will be especially important for high-volume OEM enquiries.
