Bishopsgate has advised the shareholders of Eagle Automation Limited, one of the largest suppliers of HVM gates in the UK, on its sale to Sdiptech, the Stockholm headquartered technology group.
Eagle Automation designs, manufactures and assembles high-quality perimeter security and hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) products with the highest security and loss prevention standards (LPS1175) for the UK and international markets. Founded in 1998, the company is one of the largest suppliers of HVM gates in the UK, operating out of its headquarters in Essex. Eagle has become a one-stop shop for physical perimeter security, offering a broad range of HVM solutions tailored to high-security environments. Their expertise in HVM and LPS1175 products, designed to prevent vehicle-based threats, positions the company as a critical partner for both commercial and government clients seeking enhanced security measures. Eagle has an annual EBIT of approximately GBP 2 million.
The global market for perimeter security and HVM is expected to continue its significant expansion, with a growing emphasis on integrated solutions that combine physical and technological measures, such as automated gates, barriers, and surveillance systems. Eagle‘s position as a trusted provider of high-quality solutions places it in a favorable position to capitalise on these trends.
The acquisition of Eagle Automation Systems supports Sdiptech’s broader vision of enhancing safety and sustainability across key infrastructure sectors.
