The Brightwater Group has implemented a strategic change to its organizational structure. As of 1^st April 2011 the Group will now have three operational divisions: Engineering, Manufacturing and Services.

As a result of this restructure Brightwater Meo has been integrated into Brightwater Engineering and Screening and Crushing Solutions (SCS) will become Brightwater Manufacturing.

The new structure aligns with our strategic plans for the future which will offer an even greater value of service and capabilities to our clients and industry partners. In addition to the clear strategic benefits each of the three divisions will be highly complementary to each other’s core offerings, thus creating increased benefit from the Group’s synergies and capabilities which will be even more dedicated and focused around our clients, our market sectors and growth opportunities.

The integration of Brightwater Engineering (Engineering, Design & Construction) and Brightwater Meo (Automation and Electrical) will provide better use of resources and synergies within the projects division of the Brightwater Group.

The key benefit to existing Brightwater Meo clients, as well as future clients, will be the significant increase in capability and wider expertise. This is a result of Brightwater Engineering’s experience in turnkey project management, mechanical and process engineering, fabrication and installation expertise as well as a resource pool of over 200 engineers and trade staff.

The transition from the standalone SCS business to the integrated Brightwater Manufacturing business model will extend its capabilities beyond its traditional output of screening and crushing equipment. This now includes other Brightwater “engineered products” such as Yarders, Gold Screens and mining products that fit into the Brightwater Group’s strategies. Brightwater Manufacturing will be based out of the current Brightwater facilities in Christchurch.
