Ensto Acquires Renley
Press Release
Ensto are delighted to inform you that on December 11, 2020, Ensto has acquired the entire share capital of Renley Ltd, an Irish manufacturer of low and medium voltage products and related services for local Distribution System Operators (DSOs). The acquisition is in line with Ensto’s strategy of providing complete solutions for customers and being a leading expert for DSOs.
Renley Ltd is a well‐known supplier for major DSOs in Ireland and the UK. The company, employing approximately 20 professionals in Dunboyne, Ireland, specializes in low and medium voltage distribution panels, mini pillars, fused combination units and cabinets.
In 2019, Renley had a turnover of EUR 5.4 million. Realising Ensto DSO’s growth strategy, the acquisition of Renley will strengthen our market presence in Ireland and the UK, through expanding customer networks and complementing expertise.
Renley has a solid technology in low and medium voltage products with proven expertise, an extensive network of customers and impressive long‐term customer relationships. Its product offering will complement our current product selection, and we are extremely pleased to have the chance to work together with the people at Renley.
Ensto firmly believe that this combination will benefit our customers, partners and personnel, through providing a more comprehensive product range and an even wider selection of distribution panel solutions, while enabling operational synergies for both companies.
Renley will become part of the Ensto DSO business and it will continue its operations under the name Ensto Renley Ltd. Our current Ensto DSO business in Ireland and the UK will be merged with Ensto Renley Ltd as of February 1, 2021, and John Carolan, currently working as Sales Director at Ensto in the UK, will be appointed Managing Director. John, a former Renley employee himself, knows the company and its people very well.
Ensto will keep you informed of any potential changes in our operations. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you have any questions related to the matter.
