Environmental & Recycling Industry

For almost forty years our focus has been on providing reliable gas detection and first-class service to our customers. Joining Xenon gives our team and our clients the backing of a growing, forward-looking building technology business, while ensuring the same people and the same standard of service they know and trust.

Vistec has built an outstanding reputation over nearly four decades for technical excellence and responsive service in a highly specialised field. Gas detection is a natural fit alongside the fire and life safety systems we already deliver, and this acquisition means our customers can now look to Xenon for a complete approach to keeping their buildings safe. It's another step in our strategy of combining organic growth with complementary bolt-on acquisitions, and we're delighted to welcome the Vistec team and their customers to Xenon.

Speaking for myself and the wider MEM team, we’re very excited to join Ecology Group, especially since our expertise brings a new range of services to the business, and fits closely with the group’s ambitions to become a market leader. There is a real need for the combined and complementary expertise of the group, and we’re confident in our shared ability to deliver lasting impact.

The acquisition of Mine Environment Management marks a critical moment for Global Ecology and Environmental Group and is underscored by our recognition that to be a market leader, we need to build a business of interconnected leaders in their field. This includes our established expertise in areas from BNG to nature finance, and now – mining. This is especially critical as the sector underpins global plans to meet net zero and deliver on other climate and environment commitments. We are really looking forward to working with Steven, Marguerite, the MEM team, and the wider group, to deliver on our ambition to become a market leader.

I am very relieved to have found a strategic partner in Eternity/CAPZA who is on an equal footing and will continue to expand the company together with me. I would like to thank everyone who supported me throughout the entire process. My special thanks go to the Benchmark International team.

We look forward to the valuable collaboration with CLS and are proud to have gained Mr. Hilmer, a successful manager with in-depth expertise.
