Sale of Camloc Holdings to Macaulay Capital

Camloc sold to private capital specialist

Our Corporate Finance has advised high-precision engineering business Camloc Motion Control Limited (“Camloc”) on its sale to private capital specialist, Macaulay Capital.

Led by Partner Dan Bowtell, along with Directors Pat Walters, Matt Field, and Executives Cameron Robertson and Ben Anstee, our team acted as lead advisors on the transaction and provided tax advice to Camloc’s directors and shareholders.

Leicester-based Camloc is a market-leading designer and manufacturer in motion control solutions. The business offers a wide range of bespoke solutions – ranging from lift assistance to lowering and counterbalancing of weights, to help ensure the safe manoeuvrability of equipment.

Camloc has an established global network of partners and distributors across the UK, Europe, North America, Scandinavia, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and its gas struts and dampers are used in a wide range of sectors from aerospace, military vehicle, and signage to medical, speciality vehicle and rail projects.

Established in 1989, Camloc employs 40 people and has been backed by The Foresight Nottingham Fund, managed by Foresight Group, the leading listed infrastructure and private equity investment manager, since 2016. The transaction with Macaulay Capital will support the next phase of Camloc’s future growth, whilst also providing a successful exit for The Foresight Nottingham Fund. The existing management team will remain with the business, as part of the next stage in Camloc’s long-term succession planning.
