A Birmingham-based precision engineering business has been acquired by SME investment specialist Wright Industries in a deal that secures more than 50 jobs. Burcas Limited is a specialist engineering business that supplies precision machined components to the global aerospace industry.
The acquisition will see Burcas join Wright Industries’ Connexion Technologies group, where it will operate alongside Accura Engineering. Connexion Technologies provides advanced electronic and mechanical solutions to high-reliability industries.
The deal will further strengthen Connexion’s mechanical manufacturing capabilities, while expanding its capacity to support customers operating in mission-critical, highly-regulated environments.
Burcas has been operating for 78 years and Connexion Technologies says that the deal will help to preserve the company’s heritage, specialist skills and longstanding customer relationships, as well as providing stability and investment in its growth.
Post-acquisition, Burcas will continue to operate from its facility in Birmingham, ensuring continuity for existing customers, while enabling the company to benefit from the greater scale, investment capacity and long-term ownership model offered by Wright Industries.
Wright Industries CEO and Chairman Craig Wright commented: “This acquisition is about safeguarding sovereign manufacturing capability and protecting the skilled engineering jobs that underpin the UK’s high-reliability supply chains.”
“Burcas Ltd. is a highly respected business with a proud heritage and deep expertise in supporting aerospace and defence customers. Bringing Burcas into the Connexion Technologies group ensures stability, continued investment and a secure future for both the workforce and the customers who rely on its capabilities.”
Staffordshire-based Wright Industries invests in and develops engineering SMEs in the UK and has a wide-ranging portfolio of businesses across the sector. The group employs over 470 staff and generates annual revenues in excess of £90 million.
In the year ending March 31 2025, Burcas Limited’s fixed assets were valued at £3.9 million and current assets at approximately £3.4 million, with total equity amounting to £3.7 million.
