The Will-Burt Company, designer, manufacturer and seller of mobile telescoping mast, tower, and integrated trailer systems, has announced the acquisition of Clark Masts Systems, LTD. Clark is known globally for their field and vehicle deployed telescopic pneumatic mast systems.

“We are pleased to add the high-performance Clark Mast range of mobile pneumatic telescopic mast products to the Will-Burt portfolio,” stated Richard Lewin, CEO and President of The Will-Burt Company. “The Clark Mast brand is well-known around the world for delivering high-quality products backed by exemplary service. The Will-Burt and Clark organizations have great mutual respect for one another and similar cultural beliefs that we expect will deliver increased value to our customers.”

Clark Masts, first introduced in 1954 by Alec Clark, are lightweight, quick-erecting field masts that are highly versatile with commercial and defense variations. Clark also offers a range of larger telescopic pneumatic masts that can be vehicle or field mounted and will complement the existing Will-Burt range of pneumatic masts.

Clark production operations will continue to be located on the Isle of Wight, England and Simon Bennett, Managing Director of Clark Masts, will assume the role of General Manager of the operation to assure a smooth and successful transition. The business financial and accounting functions will be merged with Will-Burt UK located in Alton, Hampshire, England.
