Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox company Charter International plc was a large British engineering business based in London. It was acquired by Colfax Corporation in January 2012.
History
The British South Africa Company was founded in 1889 by Royal Charter.[1] On the initiative of Anglo American Corporation it merged in 1965 with The Central Mining & Investment Corporation and The Consolidated Mines Selection Company to form Charter Consolidated.[1] Slightly over one-third of the shares of the new company were owned by Anglo American Corporation.[1] Its assets were mainly mining investments and its strategy was to develop as a mining finance house actively engaged in mineral exploration and the development of mines throughout the world.[1]
In the 1980s Charter Consolidated disposed of its overseas mining concerns to concentrate on its British engineering interests.[1]
In 1993 the company's name changed to Charter plc.[1]
In 1994 it acquired ESAB[2] and in 1997 it acquired Howden.[3]
In 2008 the business was restructured with the creation of a new Irish resident holding company, Charter International plc.[4]
The company was acquired by Colfax Corporation, an American company, in January 2012.[5]
Operations
The company had two main businesses:
- ESAB: welding, cutting and automation
- Howden: air and gas handling
