Tricel is pleased to announce the acquisition of UK pump specialists Action Pumps Ltd. The company, based in Portsmouth, has over 30-years of industry experience and expertise. This latest expansion by the Tricel Group further extends the company’s offerings, operations and market share within the UK.

“We are excited with the opportunities this integration into the group extends to Action Pumps. It provides us with the ability to leverage the group’s global presence and resources and accelerate our growth within the UK Water industry.  As a result of this acquisition, our companies will continue to enhance and expand the essential relationships we have with our customers and partners, who will now have access to an extensive portfolio of water products and services. We are dedicated to maintaining and increasing the quality of innovation, support, and service that are shared goals across the two companies.” – Andy Parks Managing Director
