In a move said to “strengthen resources, innovation and customer service,” Arctic Hayes has confirmed its acquisition by DiversiTech, a leading North American manufacturer and supplier of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R) products.
Known for its popular and time-saving Pipe Freeze range, Leeds-based Arctic Hayes is a leading suppliers of plumbing and heating consumables and has long been a trusted name among heating and plumbing installers. Its growing portfolio of tools, test equipment and consumables are tailored specifically for plumbing and heating engineers and it’s a well-known brand stocked in many builders and plumbers’ merchants throughout the UK and Northern Ireland.
Managing Director Lee Parsons commented: “Our customers can expect even greater value, service and quality building on the strong foundation they’ve always relied on. What’s changing is the strength behind us. Being part of DiversiTech means greater access to talent, innovation and resources that will help us bring even more to the table.
“The same team that our customers know and trust will remain in place, now empowered to enhance and elevate the high standard of service that Arctic Hayes is known for. What the acquisition brings is the added benefit of being part of a larger international group with significant manufacturing, R&D and distribution capabilities, unlocking new possibilities for our customers.”
Backed by DiversiTech’s global scale and reach, Arctic Hayes states it will be “better positioned than ever” to introduce new products, support its merchant partners and provide installers with the tools they need to work smarter and more efficiently. The firm says the acquisition marks an exciting new chapter, strengthening its foundations for the future, while “further enhancing the hands-on, customer-first approach that installers have trusted for years.”
Marco Conti, DiversiTech’s European President, said: “We are excited to welcome the Arctic Hayes team to the DiversiTech family. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to delivering an extensive range of HVAC/R products to our customers and further expands our reach into the European market.
“This expansion will allow DiversiTech to enter new segments and offer an enhanced portfolio of services and products that will effectively respond to the changing dynamics of the European market. We are confident that it will allow us to deliver even greater value to our clients, while reinforcing our long-term commitment to excellence and quality across the region.”
