Molson expansion plans gather pace with fresh investment

MOLSON Construction Equipment is to build a new national parts centre and additional depots across the UK after receiving a £6.3 million investment from BGF to support the firm’s growth plans.

Molson was founded in 1996 and has since grown organically and through acquisitions (including Doune-based Young Plant Sales). The company, which employs more than 200 people and has an annual revenue in excess of £155 million, has also established waste management and recycling equipment specialist Molson Green.

As well as the investment in infrastructure, Molson said it will work with BGF to explore further acquisitions. The business recently acquired Finlay Plant Limited and its subsidiaries, securing the distribution rights for Terex Finlay machines for England, Wales and the Channel Islands.

BGF introduced the business to Bill Caplan who has been appointed as non-executive chair. Bill is currently Chairman of Weldex International and CSH Surrey.
