MPM Group, a leading UK manufacturer and supplier of composite mouldings and components, has acquired Lamplas Ltd in a move that strengthens its position as a leading player in the UK composites manufacturing sector.
This strategic acquisition strengthens MPM Group’s position as a market leader in advanced composite manufacturing whilst also expanding its product portfolio and reinforcing its commitment to innovation, quality, and customer service.
The strategic alignment of the two businesses provides both parties with enhanced manufacturing capability, technical expertise, and broader market reach, securing skilled jobs in the sector.
This is very much part of MPM Group’s long-term growth strategy to expand its footprint in the UK composites sector and helps to continue its investment in high-quality British manufacturing.
As part of a larger organisation with facilities spanning over 100,000 sq. ft, and shared capability and expertise, both teams, combining over 90+ skilled team members, will benefit from stability, stronger career pathways, and the chance to collaborate on bigger and more complex projects.
The move is set to enhance the group’s manufacturing capacity, technical expertise, and market reach, while also safeguarding skilled jobs and supporting the resilience of British manufacturing. Customers are expected to benefit from faster turnaround times, broader capability, and greater technical support.
Operations at Lamplas will continue as normal, with the existing team and facility remaining in place. Over time, the companies will work together to share best practices and collaborate on projects, bringing further value to our customers’ supply chains.
Keith Siddle, Managing Director of Lamplas, commented:
“Lamplas has always been proud of its family roots, quality focus, and skilled workforce. We are delighted to be joining the MPM Group, which ensures our legacy continues with the backing of a partner that understands and shares our values. We’re excited about the opportunities this brings for our team, our customers, and our future.”
Ben Wilson, Managing Director of MPM Group / Composites UK Board Member, added:
“We’ve long admired the work of Lamplas and worked together on various projects for over 20 years. Their product quality and desire for ‘better’ have helped them build the business they have. This acquisition brings two long-established family businesses together, combining our strengths, qualities, and values to bring even more value to our customers’ supply chains. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead, working with a great team and welcome Lamplas into the MPM family.”
