Ampcontrol purchased the business due to its industry strength in high-voltage service and maintenance to Queensland’s mining, power generation, infrastructure, and agricultural market sectors, with facilities in Brisbane and Townsville.
“The acquisition of Protech Power is an exciting step forward as we combine our expertise and resources to deliver greater value and service to our customers and expand our geographical footprint and Ampcontrol offerings across Queensland,” Ampcontrol managing director and CEO Rod Henderson said.
Ampcontrol has taken over full ownership of the business, and Protech Power will now operate under the name of Ampcontrol.
“With a strong reputation within the industry and focus on building and maintaining long-term customer relationships, we’re looking forward to continue working alongside these customers and welcome them to Ampcontrol,” Henderson said.
“Through the acquisition, we’re able to gain an experienced workforce of more than 25 people with capabilities in high voltage systems, including electrical engineering, testing, and commissioning, which supports our strategic growth into new markets and geographical locations while allowing for consistency in our delivery of services across industry.”
