Thurston Group has acquired fabrication specialist Storplan, expanding its manufacturing capacity and product offerings. The deal gives the Wakefield-based modular building manufacturer access to Storplan’s 20,500 sq ft York facility, allowing it to take on larger structural steel and modular construction projects.
Storplan, founded in 2000, specialises in mezzanine floors, racking, and partitioning for retail and industrial storage. All employees will be retained, and the acquisition is expected to reduce outsourcing, control costs, and improve productivity and quality.
Both companies are owned by HLD Group, which acquired Thurston in 2021. The combined businesses now serve over 100 clients with a turnover exceeding £60 million.
