The acquisition will increase our presence in the region and provide growth opportunities. I would like to welcome our new colleagues from Maziak to the Atlas Copco group of companies.”

James Maziak, Maziak managing director, said: “With the support of so many amazing people inside and outside the Maziak business, I am proud of what we have built over the last 32 years, on the foundations laid by my mother and father. Becoming part of Atlas Copco Compressors UK, with its focus on interaction, innovation and commitment, will propel the business forward to deliver even more for our people, our customers and the environment.”
