Stafforce announces CenFRA acquisition
Stafforce Personnel has announced the acquisition of CenFRA, the UK-based centre for food robotics and automation.
CenFRA was formed with assistance from Yorkshire Forward in 2007 as the UK’s centre of excellence for all robotic and automation activities relating to the food and drink industry. The organisation provides consultancy and research and development services to support and promote business growth and sustainability for food and drink manufacturers across the UK.
“Our business is moving from strength to strength and acquiring CenFRA will give us the opportunity to add even more value to the services we offer to our clients,” says Ian Anderson, chief executive of Stafforce. “Specifically, this strategic acquisition will enhance our existing consultancy services and help us to improve the profitability of businesses in the food, drink and other industries.”
“There is a very close strategic fit between CenFRA and Stafforce,” adds Steve Cann, general manager of CenFRA. “Over the past four years, we have pioneered continuous business improvement in the food and drink industry and helped to create and safeguard a large number of jobs. As part of a larger group, we see many opportunities to extend our expertise within the sector and enable even more food and drink businesses to benefit.”
