Melling Engine Parts Acquires Performance Springs UK

Melling Engine Parts has acquired Performance Springs UK, the company announced.

Performance Springs, based in Blackpool, England, specializes in design and manufacturing of springs for the automotive and industrial sectors. Recently, Performance started supplying Melling its aftermarket needs from its 20,000 sq foot facility.

“We have been so impressed with the product and staff that we decided to buy the company,” said CEO Mark Melling. “We plan to bring more innovation and ramp up inventory of our Melling valve spring line with the acquisition.”

The new Company will be renamed to Melling Performance Springs Limited and all management and sales staff are staying with the company. “The acquisition by Melling is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Amit Devanga, general manager of Melling Performance Springs. “We are creating a global spring company with engineering performance at its core.”

Melling Engine Parts is based in Jackson, Michigan, and supplies both OE replacement and performance aftermarket sectors.
