Pioneering HVACR controls company, Resource Data Management (RDM), has acquired a leading Taiwan-based component and electronics manufacturer. The Taiwan-based company has recently invested in two new state-of-the-art, rohs-compliant surface-mount electronics production machines, a new assembly line and a plastic moulding and enclosure design facility.

Andy Chandler, RDM managing director, said: “We are delighted with the acquisition of FYC Co Ltd. The deal secures a high quality, cost-effective manufacturing capability for RDM’s expanding range of controls for the future.” He added: “We have worked closely with the company in the past, and their approach and professionalism are second-to-none. We will be co-operating with them on the development of a new generation of controls and related products, that significantly extend our range.” Following the move, in future all RDM products and software will be designed and developed in the UK, with manufacture carried out in Taiwan.

The purchase follows a recent major development of RDM’s Glasgow headquarters site, reveals the company’s press release. This included the expansion of its 24-7 monitoring bureau, and creation of enlarged research and development facilities. Meanwhile, in the past month the company has completed the installation of two wind turbines at its headquarters. When fully operational, they will supply more than two-thirds of the businesses’ power needs. “The new wind turbine installation will make a significant contribution to reducing the environmental impact of our energy use, and – importantly – help us further develop systems to interface with and monitor alternative energy sources,” stated Chandler.
