RSK Group, a UK-based environmental, engineering and technical services group, has expanded its business portfolio with the acquisition of Norwich-based industrial system integrator Proeon.
Proeon, which employs more than 50 people, provides control and automation systems incorporating both the hardware and the software.
The firm was established in 2004 by Kevin Magee and Eddie Pond, initially as a specialist consultancy business. Its client-based includes National Grid, Procter & Gamble, Shell and Crosswind, along with contractors such as Balfour Beatty and Worley.
Richard Miller, Proeon's MD, who will continue to lead the business, said: “Proeon’s approach to challenging control system problems, together with its team, has allowed it to grow into new emerging markets in recent years."
RSK Group CEO, Alan Ryder, added: “Proeon takes pride in its company culture and core values as these inspire their employees and partners to rise to the challenges of a competitive business climate. This provides sustained growth, which RSK fully supports, and will create opportunities for the group to access new and growing sectors.”
