Following the purchase, Delvemade has become a subsidiary company operating under the auspices of Itac Limited. For an extended period and to facilitate a smooth hand over, both founding directors will continue in similar roles within the business. Delvemade has been relocated from Swinton to Itac’s head office and manufacturing facility in Radcliffe Manchester — a distance of less than six miles.

Itac itself is a long-established, independent, formulator and manufacturer of adhesives and non-adhesive coatings. The company has doubled its turnover in the past five years, following a planned strategy of organic growth plus acquisition.

Itac’s Managing Director Paul Armitt is delighted with his latest purchase, which he described as a win-win deal for all concerned. He said, “We have had our sights set on Delvemade for quite some time. It’s a well-established, growing business with an excellent reputation and track record. It services a niche sector of the construction industry, which is one of Itac’s core markets, and over the years we have worked closely together to develop a unique system and accompanying product range. Itac’s purchase is good news for Delvemade specifiers and users alike because it guarantees continuity of supply of the same high-quality products. We are a customer focused manufacturer, with the ability and determination to develop all aspects of Delvemade Limited still further.”
