Tinken acquires Interlube

The company, which makes and markets automated lubrication delivery systems and related components for use in commercial vehicles, construction, mining and heavy and general industries, is a world leader in its field with an operation in Dayton Ohio and a joint venture in Zhuhai, China.

The purchase also includes MSP Distributors, based in Cheltenham and acquired by Interlube in 2007.

Interlube MD Mike Cusack says: "Interlube are delighted to be joining The Timken group. Their global reach will allow Interlube to continue expanding its markets, and should provide enhanced investment in the Plymouth facility.”
