Sarasota manufacturer acquires UK elevator company

Sarasota-based mobility company Harmar has acquired a company out of Northern Ireland. 

The manufacturer of stairlifts, wheelchair lifts and vertical lifts closed on the deal this fall with Pollock Lifts. Financial terms of the transaction, completed in late September, were not disclosed. Pollock Lifts manufactures elevators.

The acquisition was a fit for Harmar because it enables the Sarasota company to expand both geographically and in terms of its products, according to Harmar CEO Steve Dawson.
