Elta Automotive Limited has announced the acquisition of automotive cooling systems specialist, Cooling Components Limited, widely recognised for its Serck Automotive brand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As vehicles become more complex (particularly with the continued growth of hybrid and electric vehicles) effective temperature control is critical to performance, reliability, and emissions compliance.<\/p>\n

The acquisition, said Elta, strengthens the company\u2019s position in this key growth area and supports its long-term focus on future vehicle technologies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elta added that the addition of the Serck Automotive brand further bolsters its growing brand portfolio, which includes VXPRO, VisionPRO, Lucas, and Pride.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cooling Components will continue to operate from its Tamworth warehouse, with all day-to-day operations remaining unchanged. Paul Baggott will remain as director of Cooling Components Limited.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis acquisition marks a key moment in the next phase of the Serck Automotive brand,” said Baggott. “Cooling Components has built a strong respected business, but to take Serck Automotive to the next level required significant new investment and additional resources. Joining the Elta group gives us exactly that.”<\/p>\n

“Access to Elta\u2019s in-house data, marketing, and operational expertise will deliver immediate benefits and support sustainable long-term growth, while allowing us to retain the specialist focus our customers value,” he added.<\/p>\n

Elta Automotive Limited director Ian Hallam, said: \u201cCooling Components is a strong, business with an excellent reputation and deep technical expertise. Cooling and thermal management are vital growth areas for the aftermarket as vehicle technology continues to evolve.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted that Paul will continue to lead the business and that operations will remain in Tamworth, preserving the specialist focus customers value.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
