BCW Group (Intl) Limited are pleased to announce that they have acquired the business and assets of Lupton & Place Burnley, a significant milestone in our continued growth and a strong statement of intent about the direction of the Group.

A Strategic Fit

This acquisition is a natural extension of BCW Group’s vertically integrated model. The company’s approach is to bring as much of the manufacturing process as possible under one roof, giving customers greater control over quality, cost, and lead times while reducing supply chain complexity.

The addition of Lupton & Place’s casting expertise further strengthens this offer, enhancing our end-to-end manufacturing capability.

Claire Whelan, Group CEO, said:

“This acquisition is a strategically important move for the Group. Lupton & Place’s technical capability, reputation for quality, and cultural alignment with BCW make it an excellent fit. Bringing this expertise in-house directly supports our vision of a more vertically integrated business, and we see significant opportunity in the combined operation.”

What This Means for Our Customers

For customers, this means a stronger, more capable BCW Group, one that offers even greater control and traceability across the production process.

Whether operating in aerospace, automotive, defence, or off-highway sectors, the combined capabilities of BCW and Lupton & Place provide a more comprehensive and resilient manufacturing partner.

Looking Ahead

We are excited about the opportunities this creates and look forward to working together to realise the full potential of the combined business.
