It was acquired in September 2017, as part of the acquisition of the Hayward Tyler Group (“HTG”) which attracted total consideration of £52.7m, of which Peter Brotherhood represented approximately £9.3m.
Specifically, this acquisition expands Howden's steam turbine product range to include larger scale, multi-stage technology offerings.
