Market Announcement 23 August 2011
LogiCamms acquires Power Supply Services & Training
LogiCamms Limited (ASX:LCM) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement to acquire Perth based Power Supply Services & Training ( PSST ), expanding its Western Australian operations.
Operating since 1997 PSST’s revenue in financial year 2011 was in the order of $2.3m. PSST has built a strong profile, primarily within Western Australia’s mining and minerals sector, delivering high quality electrical training, procedure development, auditing and inspection services for a diverse customer base including blue chip owners and operators.
The capabilities within PSST and Competency Training Pty Ltd, (the wholly owned Registered Training Organisation of LogiCamms Limited) are highly complementary and will give rise to a unique national training offering with increased capability and capacity for LogiCamms.
LogiCamms’ Director of Strategy, Mergers and Acquisitions, Mr Karsten Guster, said that while the acquisition was not financially material it represents an important strategic milestone in building LogiCamms’ training capability. The investment is supported by a strong demand nationally for niche training services, particularly within the mining and energy sectors.
Also commenting, PSST’s Managing Director, Mr Paul Egan said, “Joining LogiCamms presents an exciting opportunity to extend our offering with major operators in Western Australia. We look forward to being part of LogiCamms’ national electrical, instrumentation and hazardous area training capability and accessing new customers across the country”.
“LogiCamms, through Competency Training, is the only training provider in its field supported by a national engineering, project delivery and asset management platform. Our enhanced capacity to provide training solutions will give us a unique position to assist our customers in addressing the shortage of skilled resources. We are delighted to welcome the PSST team on board,” Mr Guster said.
