KVANUM, SWEDEN — Tornum Group has acquired JW Installations UK Ltd, which specializes in grain dryer plants and associated solutions.

The North Yorkshire, England-based company has been a distributor for the Tornum portfolio for nearly a decade. It will remain an independent subsidiary and will operate with directors James and Charles White.

“We are delighted to have acquired JWI from the White family,” said Nicklas Margård, Tornum chief executive officer. “The acquisition will allow for a combination of product lines, and this coupled with JWI’s excellent service and sales network will allow both parties to grow within the UK marketplace. Having worked closely with JWI for many years it is a logical step to further deepen our business relationship and develop the UK market together. I see this as a positive step for all parties involved, and I believe it generates benefits to our customers. We can now provide a wider range of products and offer Tornum’s and JWI’s combined knowledge of grain handling solutions to our customer base.”

Charles White said JWI welcomes the opportunity to join forces.

“Our customers can continue to rely on the same exceptional level of expertise and service they have come to rely on over the last 50 years but with the added strength and resources derived from being the market leader,” he said.  “We have no doubt that our customers, existing and new alike, will greatly benefit from this integration.”
