The move forms part of Faun-Zoeller UK’s “strategic plan for the UK market”, aiming to enhance its offering, customer base, technology, and service network.

C.P. Davidson Ltd, established in 1991, and is known for its work in the hire and contract hire segment, particularly for refuse collection vehicles and related services.

The acquisition brings together the two organisations, with the Davidson family having previous involvement with Zoeller since 1998, supplying bodies and lifters to local authorities.

Philip Davidson, managing director of C.P. Davidson & Sons Ltd, will continue in his role and report to Simon Hyde, chief executive of Faun-Zoeller UK. Together, they will “formulate growth plans and activities for both Faun-Zoeller UK and CPD”.

Philip Davidson said: “While this choice was not easy, we firmly believe it is the best course of action for the future of our company and all of our valued employees. Faun- Zoeller is a highly reputable and leading waste management company specialising in manufacturing high-specification waste collection vehicles and bin lifters. Faun- Zoeller has expressed a strong interest in expanding their operations, and they are dedicated to maintaining the same level of quality service that our customers have come to expect from us. We firmly believe this change presents exciting new opportunities for our company and employees.”
