Alfred H Knight (AHK), a leader in inspection and analysis, has acquired mineral processing consultancy, Grinding Solutions Limited (GSL), with immediate effect.
With over 20 years of experience, GSL is an innovative, consultative company specialising in mineral liberation and separation, AHK says. Based in Cornwall, England, this family-owned business is similar to fifth-generation AHK and supports clients worldwide across the metalliferous, coal, industrial minerals, environmental and recycling sectors, it added. GSL’s services span metallurgical and mineral processing testing, consultancy, on-site support, troubleshooting, product development and market evaluation.
Mark Willis, Sales & Marketing Director, Alfred H Knight, said: “Obtaining the GSL business supports AHK’s ambitious growth strategy of strengthening its geo-metallurgical service portfolio, expanding not only the scope but also the geographic coverage of these services. We welcome the additional technical expertise and experience GSL brings that will enhance the group.”
This purchase builds on the acquisition of Chile-based company Asmin Industrial Limitada in 2022, equipping AHK with the resources to address further opportunities across its core metals and minerals business, AHK says.
Dan Abraham, Managing Director, GSL, said: “I am delighted that we have joined the Alfred H Knight Group and feel that our shared visions and family-driven approaches from both companies are very well aligned. This is a fantastic opportunity for everyone and we are looking forward to being part of AHK’s growth strategy. The acquisition will allow us to grow our global presence and enhance our service offering.”
