Following three months of discussion and negotiation, Adrian Rawlinson has acquired the controlling interest in Marl International Ltd.  Graham Round has increased his minority shareholding, whilst Brian Ainley retains a shareholding interest in the Company.

The existing structure of the senior management team will remain in place, with the exception that Brian Ainley’s position as Chairman will now be as Non-Executive.

David Moorhouse and David Ford will remain on the Board of Directors.  It is worth noting that between the five senior officers of Marl, they have 125 years of experience with the company.

The shareholders have decided to make an additional significant investment into the Company in order to take advantage of the exciting opportunities which are emerging in the solid state lighting market for general lighting.  This is an exciting time for the industry and an exciting time for Marl.


Adrian Rawlinson quoted:

"We are not intending a fundamental change in strategy but, to the contrary, want to increase our presence in the existing market sectors in rail, defence and photo science and continue to make progress with the opportunities emerging for high brightness LED products and systems for both indication and illumination in the rapidly expanding Solid State Lighting market.
Should you require any further information please feel free to contact us."
