New Zealand’s largest stainless steel fabricator, NDA Group has acquired a business in North America, World Wide Exchangers(WWE), a leading provider of heat exchangers to the gas processing and compression markets in North America.
The NDA Group is a New Zealand based group of companies specialising in the design and fabrication of high precision process vessels and heat exchangers for the dairy, wine and chemical industries, and the provision of other specialist products and services to key markets around the world.
This bolt-on acquisition for NDA compliments existing operations in Alabama and Houston which focus primarily on engineered products for the specialty chemicals markets.
Located on a 5.5-acre site, North of Tulsa, Oklahoma, WWE consists of seven facilities on the one site, producing Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers and Air Cooled Heat Exchangers up to 54 ton in weight. It currently employs 30 staff taking the total number of employees across NDA’s North American Operations to 200.
Mark Eglinton, CEO of NDA Group, says he's very excited about the addition of WWE to the NDA Group.
“WWE has an excellent reputation for innovative, cost effective designs delivered on time. These are critical drivers of the gas processing and compression markets.
“This innovative business is a great acquisition and a significant strategic step into an attractive new market,” he says.
