One of the UK’s largest manufacturers of EV chargepoints, Rolec Services, has acquired the VendElectric and Group Manager charging networks.

The deal expands the company’s portfolio of EV charging and back office management solutions. Rolec, who made the purchase from Teckpro, will integrate the two networks into its existing nationwide EV charging solutions.

This acquisition will expand Rolec’s in-house capabilities with the inclusion of VendElectric’s technical team as well as the introduction of new technologies, enabling Rolec to provide a greater range of services, covering all aspects of EV charging and back-office management services.

Rolec currently manages thousands of charging points throughout the UK, including locations such as: Meadowhall Shopping Centre, Anglian Water Authority, Battersea Power Station Development, JCT600, DHL, Perry’s Motor, Stoneacre Motor Group and many more.

Kieron Alsop, Managing Director at Rolec Services said of the deal: “I am delighted to be introducing the VendElectric and Group Manager charging networks into Rolec’s existing portfolio of EV charging and back office management solutions which is clearly an exciting addition to Rolec.

“I am particularly pleased to welcome VendElectric’s technical team on board which will further strengthen our inhouse capabilities and enable us to scale up our services and solutions as the EV charging industry evolves.

“As an organisation we are always looking to improve and enhance our EV charging portfolio and are also actively seeking to acquire further companies as and when the opportunity arises.”
