Metso has signed an agreement to acquire Tedd Engineering, a privately owned company specialized in automation, control systems and electrical solutions primarily focusing on the aggregates business.
Based in the United Kingdom, Tedd Engineering employs about 70 people. The company generated about GBP 15 million in sales in the financial year that ended in June 2023.
“We are very happy to welcome Tedd Engineering to Metso. The acquisition clearly strengthens our capabilities to utilize digitalization and automation in our mobile equipment business and especially in the aftermarket. We are committed to serving all of Tedd Engineering’s current customers as well as developing new solutions for them. The current Tedd Engineering customers will see the continuation of their business and future investments,” said Markku Simula, President, Aggregates business area at Metso.Â
“Beyond Metso’s own mobile products, Tedd Engineering will offer new opportunities for the automation aftermarket business, including control system upgrades, digital solutions and remote monitoring. Tedd Engineering has been an automation supplier for Metso’s McCloskey brand already for several years and coming together will give us new opportunities to speed up our electrification and digitalization programs.”

The acquisition is expected to be closed during the fourth quarter of 2023. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction value, which has no material impact on Metso’s financials.
