Platform Parts acquires CPS

Platform Parts and CPS announce strategic partnership to strengthen service for UK customers

Platform Parts – the recently rebranded spare parts division of Vertimac – is expanding its UK footprint through a partnership with CPS, a well-established specialist in aerial work platform components.

The collaboration represents an important milestone in Platform Parts’ international growth and strengthens support for customers in one of Europe’s most active access equipment markets.

Together, Platform Parts and CPS will combine local stock and service expertise with a broad product portfolio and purchasing strength, giving UK customers faster delivery, competitive pricing, and a wider choice of high-quality parts.

“To make a real difference in the UK, you need a partner who understands the market from within,” says Mathieu Naessens, Business Unit Director at Platform Parts. “CPS shares our values, our customer focus, and our technical expertise. This synergy allows us to grow together and support customers with even greater efficiency.”

Karel Ghistelinck, Purchase Director, added: “The UK market has great potential, with new brands – including several from Asia – gaining momentum. By working alongside CPS, we can respond to these changes locally, with the right stock, service and know-how.”

Tom Cribb, Co-owner CPS: “This is a great opportunity for us to build on the foundations we have laid over the past five years and provide customers with an even better service, faster delivery from UK stock and more competitive pricing. We believe this deal will enable us to become the number one choice for all brands of access parts in the UK.”

The shared ambition is to build a long-term partnership that strengthens support for customers and encourages sustainable growth across the region.
