The purchase of adhesive company Viking is one of several by TECHSiL in recent years, and is set to broaden the company’s product range and market reach
UK distributor of specialty tapes and adhesives, TECHSiL, has announced the acquisition of distributor, Viking Industrial Products (Viking).
The purchase of Yorkshire-based Viking has been carried out to broaden TECHSiL’s product range and strengthen its market reach, according to the company.
Following the purchase, Viking will continue to operate under the same name, retaining its employees. Previous owner, Colin Bennett, will stay with the company in the short term.
A family-run business founded in 1989, Viking’s product offerings include masking and packaging tapes, specialist printed tapes, hazard warning tapes, as well as contact and two part adhesives.
Viking is a primary e-commerce partner of 3M, distributing a range of the company’s high-quality tapes, adhesives, and abrasives.
Speaking of the purchase, Chris Dilley, managing director at TECHSiL, comments: “The Viking business model is a strong cultural and strategic fit with TECHSiL.
“I am grateful to the Bennett family who have built a very successful business, and I am pleased that Colin will remain with the business in the short term to support this transition. I’m looking forward to seeing what more we can achieve together.”
The purchase is the latest of several acquisitions by TECHSiL in recent years, including adhesives and tapes supplier Eurobond Adhesives in 2023 and silicone supplier Silicone-Solutions in 2022.
TECHSiL is part of Diploma PLC, an international group of distribution businesses and a member of the FTSE100. In its recently released annual report, Diploma revealed a 14% growth in its revenue for 2024.
