SCCS, based in Cambridge, England, provides surveying solutions across the country, offering customers rent, purchase and service options in the road, rail and construction projects.

“Additionally, not only does this acquisition…provides a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of equipment rental, accelerating our ability to serve the evolving needs of our global customer base.”

SCCS will be fully consolidated immediately. Excluding intercompany revenue, the company’s turnover for 2015 amounted to around €12 million.
