Tomkins (Air Systems Components) acquires Ward Industries HVAC duct business

The Air Systems Components Division of Tomkins PLC acquired Ward Industries Inc., a maker of HVAC ductwork accessory products, integrating it into Hart & Cooley. Hart & Cooley's president framed it as the second strategic acquisition in 12 months following American Metal Products. Strategic manufacturer consolidation, not a PE-backed home-service roll-up.

“The Air Systems Components Division of Tomkins PLC, a global manufacturing and engineering group, has acquired Ward Industries Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of W.W. Holdings LLC.”
