BSI Group has acquired OYS Rigging, taking ownership of the brand and all associated assets.
OYS Rigging will remain headquartered in the UK and, for the foreseeable future, in the OYS factory in Ocean House in Christchurch. A new South Coast premises is to be announced early in 2021.
“We are delighted to be owners of OYS, with a UK facility and working together with the knowledgeable manufacturing team,” said Morten Madsen, BSI MD.
“This purchase will see the BSI Group become the largest supplier of rod rigging and we look forward to providing a truly exceptional global product.”
Not included in the acquisition are OYS Thrusters and OYS Hydraulics. These products will continue to be provided by Ocean Marine Systems.
“This recent development sees the brands dividing and creating their own paths,” said Mark Barwell, former saes director at OYS and current sales director at OMS. “This is an exciting time for all involved.”
“We wish BSI all the best with the OYS Rigging range,” he continued. “Our team are on hand to support the transition here in the UK. We look forward to focusing our attention on the Ocean Marine Systems range of products.”
