The board of Chongqing Machinery and Electric Co (CQME) has confirmed the acquisition of the subsidiary businesses of Precision Technologies Group.
The operating businesses that have transferred into CQME's ownership are: Holroyd Precision, Precision Components, PTG Heavy Industries (Binns & Berry and Crawford Swift brands), PTG Advanced Developments, Milnrow Investments and PTG Deutschland GmbH. CQME is a large Chinese industrial group listed on the Hong Kong Stock exchange.
