Further growth for Tildenet with Fleximas acquisition
 

Tildenet has announced it has acquired the specialist textiles and netting supplier Fleximas.

As a long established, family run company, the Fleximas ethos mirrors that of Tildenet, with great service and customer care at the forefront of the business.

Customers of both companies will be able to benefit from the increased breadth of range Tildenet are now able to offer across the whole market and the synergies of the two businesses operating from state of the art facilities in Bristol, which will help ensure a seamless transition and improved service levels.

Andrew Downey, Tildenet MD, said: "Fleximas has been established for over 40 years and are a very well-known and respected name within the industry making them a perfect fit for Tildenet and our expanding business.

 

"The increased product range and depth of knowledge that come with an acquisition like this will be a huge benefit for our customers and I am sure we will have some very exciting times ahead opening lots more doors to new markets.

 

"We welcome Sarah Hendon to the Tildenet Group and her vast experience will help ensure continuity from day one."

Sarah Hendon, Fleximas, said: "We are delighted to be part of the Tildenet Group at such an exciting time in their growth and I am looking forward to working with their talented teams and the opportunities that this move will bring to our customers."

This acquisition signals that 2018 will be another year of significant growth for the Tildenet Group which has recently made a further six-figure investment in its operations infrastructure as part of a sustained programme of modernisation and development across the whole business.
