Rehlko has finalised its acquisition of Derbyshire-based The Wilmott Group, bringing WB Power Services and Wiltech Acoustics under the brand’s EMEA umbrella.
The agreement, first revealed in July, gives Rehlko (formerly Kohler Energy) an established UK engineering workforce, nationwide fleet support, and specialist acoustic-packaging expertise. In return, The Wilmott Group gains direct access to Rehlko’s global manufacturing and R&D network – resources it says will accelerate project delivery for data centres, hospitals and utilities on both sides of the Channel.
“This marks a hugely exciting and pivotal milestone for The Wilmott Group,” said Andy Wilmott, Co-CEO and Chairman.
“Now that the acquisition is complete, we are officially part of a global leader in energy resilience. Rehlko shares our values of long-term customer focus, operational excellence, and innovation – principles we’ve been proud to uphold since 1983. Together, we’re equipped to elevate our services to new heights.”
“This is an exciting moment for Rehlko as we bring The Wilmott Group into our family,” said Brian Melka, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rehlko.
“We’re thrilled to provide our customers with even greater impact, especially as we deepen our collaboration in the data center space throughout the UK and Europe. Together, we’re well positioned to transform the energy resilience and security industry through enhanced efficiency and cutting-edge solutions.”
Both parties say that they expect the deal to unlock new levels of reliability, resilience and service for customers coping with ever-tighter uptime demands.
