Benchmark International is pleased to announce the acquisition of Plymouth-based GMD by Bristol-based Leviathan.
GMD provides precision engineered component and design solutions for projects within the marine, defence, food processing, energy and pharmaceutical sectors. Some of its major clients include the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and major defence and engineering group, Babcock.
Based in Bristol, Leviathan is a subcontract engineering group which focuses on high value and growth sectors where various services can be shared to address larger, more technical projects for its premium customers.
GMD is expected to be the first of several acquisitions for Leviathan as it works to become a wider, integrated engineering group. Leviathan has said its expansion plans will focus on “premium value and growth sectors”. By acquiring a broader array of engineering services, the group can begin to focus on bigger and “more technical” projects.
Post-acquisition, GMD’s founding Samson family, who established the business over 25 years ago, will remain within the firm.
