Donaldson Timber Engineering (DTE) has expanded its offering with a brand new acquisition.
The manufacturer of structural timber components has acquired Cambridge Roof Truss.
The strategic acquisition will further supplement its existing product offering across Southern and Midlands regions of the UK.
Based in Fife, DTE is the UK's largest and longest established manufacturer of roof trusses, engineered joists, beams and spandrel panels, with over 30 years' experience. Adding to the company's eight manufacturing sites across the UK, this acquisition provides DTE with a unique national distribution network.
Established in 2014, Cambridge Roof Truss limited (CRTL) designs, manufactures and supplies roof trusses, joists and spandrel panels to leading housebuilders and construction companies in the UK. The company has built a reputation for being a marketing-led, sales driven business with a renowned customer service ethos.
Jonathan Fellingham, Managing Director at DTE, said: "The acquisition of Cambridge Roof Truss further extends our reach in the UK, meaning wherever our customers are, we are on their doorstep; providing the best in quality and local service with a national distribution network. It's a fantastic business, and we're extremely pleased to be bringing the full team into the DTE family."
Cambridge Roof Truss Managing Director, Jack McMinn, added: "I am very proud of the reputation we have built, and for putting our customers and the service we provide to them at our core. By joining forces with DTE, we can offer a broader set of manufacturing capabilities with the resource and operational experience necessary to fully support our customers."
There will be no changes for clients or suppliers of CRTL.
