Aberdeen-based company Modutec, has today announced a majority investment in Birkenhead-based electrical engineering group SeaKing.

SeaKing provides electrical engineering and installation services to its customers in the marine, defence, renewables, and offshore sectors. Recognised internationally for their expertise in hazardous area electrical works, SeaKing undertakes major overhaul of assets through to minor maintenance activities.

SeaKing, which employs 105 staff, enhances Modutecs offering and closely follows the integration of HVAC specialists CO-AT Marine as part of the expanding portfolio.

Brian Knowles, Modutec Managing Director commented:

“Marine assets are becoming more intelligent to enhance efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. This is brokering the need for a more integrated technical solution and a new contracting model for owners of high value assets.

The combined skill set of SeaKing, CO-AT and Modutec opens a unique proposition to the market. Our 515 staff will support customers with a deep technical solution with the capacity to scale across multiple geographies.

We welcome Martin and his colleagues at SeaKing to our group at an exciting chapter in our growth story.”
