Kohler Co.'s Global Power Group has acquired UK UPS system supplier Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd for an undisclosed sum.
Dick Fotsch, Kohler Global Power Group president, said: "Bringing UPSL into our Global Power Group is an appropriate extension to our business. As we seek to become a full 'systems' supplier in the worldwide power generation market, UPSL's incredible maintenance and service reputation in the UPS category is a strong complement to providing complete power solutions to our customers."
UPSL will become part of the Kohler Power Systems business, which manufactures generator sets up to 2800 kW, automatic transfer switches, controls, switchgear and generator packaging options.
UPSL co-founder and managing director, David Bond, will continue to lead the company and report to Mr. Fotsch. Mr. Bond is author of "The UPS Handbook."
The firm had been owned by the management backed by Barclays venture capital.
