Engineering, digital services and project management company Assystem, which has offices in Derby, has acquired project management and controls group LogiKal.
LogiKal operates in UK and Asia-Pacific markets and generates annual revenue of ca. £15m (of which 65% is in the UK). This move aims to significantly strengthen Assystem’s project management services offer by bringing over 100 skilled project management professionals into the Assystem Group.
Both companies have a footprint in key programmes such as the UK’s high speed rail route (HS2), Lower Thames Crossing and National Grid. Internationally LogiKal also brings experience from major projects including the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) in Hong Kong and the Sydney Metro.
Christian Jeanneau, Assystem’s senior vice-president – Digital, said: “Assystem’s ambition is to accelerate the convergence of engineering and project management through digital. By bringing LogiKal into the Assystem corporate family we are taking a step further towards achieving this.”
Simon Barber, Assystem’s UK Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to welcome LogiKal into the Assystem family and to be strengthening our comprehensive Project Management Office and wider digital services with a community of experts who are passionate about supporting the delivery of the low-carbon projects that are key to Britain’s energy transition.”
Bryn Lockett, LogiKal’s CEO, said: “Joining Assystem on its mission to support the drive to net zero will provide many opportunities to get involved in a range of exciting energy projects in the UK and around the world, as well as enhancing our well-established offer to the rail and infrastructure sectors. We are elated to be joining the Group’s Switcher community to support global efforts to address climate change.”
