The big news from Tomcat UK was the announcement of a strategic partnership with Pfaff-silberblau, including the acquisition of the latter's PCM brand and UK distributorship of Columbus McKinnon hoists. The agreement has been lauded by both companies: Tomcat UK's Tony Dickson emphasised that existing PCM motor hoist customers will now be able to access a much wider range of services. In turn, Pfaff-silberblau's Paul Kelly said that the company will continue to develop and market its extensive range of backstage lifting systems.
