Wescom, a Seawork exhibitor, supplies safety equipment in the Defence, Outdoor and Marine sectors, as does BCB International.

“Today we can announce the successful completion of the acquisition of BCB International Ltd, a partnership that will further enhance Wescom Group’s core safety and survival product portfolio,” said Wescom Group CEO Ross Wilkinson. 

“We are excited to work with the management team on growing the business through the Group’s extensive distribution network, whilst also having a strong focus on new product development programs.”

Wescom has been around for a century and a half, drumming up expertise in survival solutions’ manufacture and distribution in multiple countries. 

“We have known some of the Wescom team for many decades and it is invigorating to be working with them to help save lives and protect the protectors to a much larger scale,” said BCB International managing director Andrew Howell.
