Ash & Lacy strengthens position in automotive industry with Vestatec acquisition

Solidifying its position in the automotive industry, Smethwick-headquartered Ash & Lacy has acquired Nottingham-based Vestatec, a supplier of decorative automotive components.

The acquisition brings together Ash & Lacy’s high-volume manufacturing capabilities and Vestatec’s expertise in cutting-edge Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coating technology, to offer innovative solutions to automotive manufacturers.

Both companies are family-owned and driven by a shared philosophy of quality and growth. Dr. Jonathan Evans, CEO of Ash & Lacy, said: “From the outset, it was clear that Ash & Lacy and Vestatec share a similar philosophy.

“This fusion brings together our strengths, allowing us to offer even more comprehensive, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions for the automotive sector.”
