CES Power, a leading global provider of infrastructure for live events, has successfully completed the acquisition of three Ireland-based businesses: GH Energy Rental Ltd, Event Power, and Purecore. The acquisitions strengthen CES Power's presence in Ireland and mark an important step in the company's continued expansion across the UK and Europe. Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
GH Energy Rental is based in Dublin. Event Power and Purecore (inactive website) are both based in Portlaoise, Ireland. All three companies specialize in temporary power generation and distribution for live events, broadcast, and industrial projects across Ireland. Together, the three businesses will significantly enhance CES Power's existing fleet of generators, lighting towers, transformers, cable, distribution, and specialist power management systems, making it the largest power fleet in the UK and Ireland, along with a growing presence in the United States. This expanded capability will increase capacity to deliver complex, multi-site projects across both the events and industrial sectors.
The teams of all three businesses will join CES Power as part of the acquisitions, with the founders remaining in leadership roles to ensure continuity for customers. Speaking about the impact of the transactions, Ailsa Webb, Division President UK/Europe of CES Power, stated:
"We have ambitious plans to continue growing our presence across the UK and Europe, and these acquisitions are an important step in scaling our capability in Ireland. GH Energy Rental, Event Power, and Purecore have all built strong reputations and long-standing customer relationships. We're pleased that the founders will remain in leadership roles to ensure continuity for customers while enabling us to integrate the operations efficiently."
This transaction marks another milestone in CES Power's strategic growth plan under Allied Industrial Partners, which has backed the company since June 2021. CES Power has now completed 16 acquisitions under Allied's ownership and will continue to actively pursue further add-on acquisitions in areas of strategic interest. Reflecting on the latest expansion, Jordan Reber, CEO of CES Power, remarked:
"These acquisitions strengthen our presence in Ireland, enhance our ability to support customers working across borders, and reinforce our position as a leading global temporary power partner. The expertise these companies bring to our business will further support Ailsa and her team in meeting the growing demand and opportunity across Ireland."
Bradford Rossi and Philip Wright, Co-Founders and Managing Partners at Allied Industrial Partners, added: "We're pleased to support CES Power's latest expansion as the company further cements its presence in the UK, Ireland, and Europe."
The acquisition of GH Energy Rental, Event Power, and Purecore underscores CES Power's commitment to strategic growth and its efforts to strengthen its position as a leading global provider of temporary power solutions for the events and industrial sectors.
