Cooling Components Limited is pleased to announce that the business has been acquired by ELTA Automotive Limited and is now wholly owned by the ELTA group.
This marks a positive and strategic step forward for Cooling Components, providing long-term investment and additional resources to support continued growth, while preserving the specialist focus and customer-first approach the business is known for.
Based in Tamworth, Cooling Components Limited is a well-established specialist in automotive cooling and thermal management, widely recognised for the Serck Automotive brand. The business has built a strong reputation for technical expertise, product quality, and dependable service within the independent automotive aftermarket.
Following the acquisition, Cooling Components will continue to operate from its Tamworth warehouse, with all day-to-day operations remaining unchanged. Customers will continue to work with the same team, using the same contacts, and receiving the same levels of service and technical support.
Cooling and thermal management are increasingly critical areas within the aftermarket as vehicle technology continues to evolve, particularly with the growth of hybrid and electric vehicles. Effective temperature control is essential to vehicle performance, reliability, and emissions compliance. Joining the ELTA group enables Cooling Components to strengthen its position in this strategically important category.
As part of the acquisition, Paul Baggott will remain as Director of Cooling Components Limited, ensuring continuity, stability, and the ongoing benefit of his extensive industry experience.
Commenting on the acquisition, Paul Baggott said:
“This acquisition marks a key moment in the next phase of the Serck Automotive brand. Cooling Components has built a strong and well-respected business, but to take Serck Automotive to the next level required additional investment and resources. Joining the ELTA group gives us exactly that. Access to ELTA’s in-house data, marketing, and operational expertise will deliver immediate benefits, while allowing us to retain the specialist focus our customers value.”
Ian Hallam, Director of ELTA Automotive Limited, added:
“Cooling Components is a strong business with an excellent reputation and deep technical expertise. Cooling and thermal management are vital growth areas for the aftermarket as vehicle technology continues to evolve. We are delighted that Paul will continue to lead the business and that operations will remain in Tamworth, preserving the specialist focus customers value.”
As part of the ELTA group, Cooling Components and the Serck Automotive brand will benefit from shared resources, extended product development opportunities, and long-term strategic investment, while continuing to operate as a dedicated specialist business.
Customers can expect continuity of service alongside enhanced support and a clear commitment to long-term growth.
