Supacat has rebranded under a new SC Group identity as it expands into new markets and provide a clear customer focus for the company’s products and capabilities.
The Supacat name remains in place for the company’s core defence business, SC Innovation is the new brand for all engineering solutions for non-defence customers, Proteum the new brand for the marine products and services company (formerly MDS Marine), and the Blackhill Engineering brand is retained for the large fabrications and associated machining business.
The company was founded in 1980 to develop high mobility vehicles for defence and civil customers. In 2011 it established Supacat Pty Ltd in Australia and during 2014 made a series of acquisitions in the commercial marine sector leading to the creation of Proteum based in Hamble, UK. At the end of last year Exeter based heavy fabrication specialist, Blackhill Engineering , was acquired. SC Group, the Supacat defence business and SC Innovation operate from headquarter facilities at Dunkeswell, Devon, UK.
“The SC brand brings together our people, products and services to create an innovative engineering group structure to achieve our 2020 vision of a diversified industrial group offering a one stop shop of engineering processes,” said Nick Ames, Chief Executive, SC Group.
