Representing a significant milestone in Rehlko's growth strategy, the acquisition allows Rehlko to expand its footprint and capabilities in the fast-growing data center market across EMEA. By combining The Wilmott Group's decades ofengineering expertise and operational excellence in design, testing, installation, and lifecycle support with Rehlko's superior energy resilience products, Rehlko will ensure its customers in data centers, healthcare, education and other mission-critical sections are supported with reliable, future-ready solutions to meet their evolving energy needs.
“This is an exciting moment for Rehlko as we bring The Wilmott Group into our family,” said Brian Melka, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rehlko. “We're thrilled to provide our customers with even greater impact, especially as we deepen our collaboration in the data center space throughout the U.K. and Europe.
