Engie Services today announced its acquisition of West Australian Mechanical Services (WAMS), a specialist commercial
and industrial air-conditioning, refrigeration and ventilation business.
The acquisition will contribute to Engie's growing Australian footprint. The purchase complements Engie Services’ strategic direction of providing multi-technical services, projects and solutions and helps increase the company’s installation capabilities.
With offices in Perth and Bunbury, WAMS has built strong relationships since it commenced operations in 2004.
Engie Services CEO, Corinne Ong said it is another positive step for the company as it seeks out growth opportunities in
Australia and New Zealand.
"WAMS has an outstanding reputation for quality and delivery in its markets, and will benefit from drawing on Engie’s extensive expertise, both through our Australian and New Zealand business and the Group’s global platform," Ong said.
WAMS founder Roger Collins said the company can leverage Engie's expertise, network, systems and processes in the
West Australian market to achieve greater efficiencies, resources and economies of scale.
While WAMS will continue to trade under its current branding, Collins said WAMS has more than 80 staff who will join Engie Services.
The Engie Services business now employs about 1,100 people in more than 25 locations across Australia and New Zealand.
