Powrmatic has acquired the assets of SHEV Company Limited, a supplier of smoke and heat exhaust ventilation products.

Effective from today (1 July), the acquisition reinforces Powrmatic’s position as a UK leader in the manufacture of smoke and natural ventilation products.

Powrmatic’s ventilation product manager Stuart Parris said: “The SHEV product range is the perfect complement to our own portfolio of ventilation products, giving us a comprehensive offering to meet all project requirements at all price points. It also enables us to accelerate our product development programme to ensure we remain at the leading edge of the sector.”

The SHEV product range, all certified to EN12101 Part 2, comprises Stirling casement ventilators and Krystalite smoke and natural ventilators. Manufacturing, assembly and certification processes previously carried out at SHEV’s premises will now transfer to Powrmatic’s facility in Ilminster, Somerset.

Stirling products will be offered alongside Powrmatic’s UltraSky and SkyVent models to offer specifiers a wider choice in selecting the best solution for the application. Similarly, the Krystalite range will enable Powrmatic to provide a wider selection of single, double and triple glazed louvre ventilators for both smoke and natural ventilation.
