Hill & Smith Infrastructure acquires the assets and Intellectual Property of SYSTRA Ltd’s range of Perimeter Security and HVM products
Hill & Smith Infrastructure Ltd, a leading provider of Vehicle Restraint Systems and Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (“HVM”), part of Hill & Smith PLC, has acquired the assets and Intellectual Property (“IP”) of SYSTRA Ltd’s range of Perimeter Security and HVM products for a nominal sum.
The SYSTRA re-deployable security systems are a range of modular products which are tested to the highest standards to mitigate the risk of hostile vehicle attacks, in order to provide protection to people and assets. They constitute a major element of the UK’s strategic National Barrier Asset.
The surface-mounted systems can be deployed quickly on a temporary basis, providing flexible solutions for security sensitive locations such as governmental, commercial and critical national infrastructure sites and high profile events. The modular nature of the range enables fast redeployment and reconfiguration to meet clients’ evolving needs against terrorism threats.
Over the years, Hill & Smith Infrastructure has supported the protection of the public during both national and international events such as the King’s Coronation, the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, and Dubai Expo 2020.
Dave Todd, Managing Director Services at Hill & Smith Infrastructure Ltd, said,
“We are really pleased to announce the acquisition of assets and IP from SYSTRA Ltd, which enhances our sector capabilities and supports the National Barrier Asset framework. The product range complements our existing Hostile Vehicle Mitigation product portfolio and leaves us well placed for the future.”
