Carnbane Business Park based firm MJM Interior Build have bought Antrim based business Mivan following news that Mivan had ceased trading on Monday past.
Family owned company MJM was established in 1983 and are a world leader in the refurbishment of Cruise Liners, Ferries, Public Buildings etc.
Their purpose built 100,000 square foot Carnbane plant can design and manufacture bespoke joinery items from many types of materials for the projects.
The international engineering company Mivan (No.1) Limited was sold yesterday to MJM Marine – this includes property, plant & equipment and the Mivan name.
MJM Managing Director Brian McConville commented: “MJM have built up a strong reputation as a global player in the industry and there are obvious synergies between our two operations. There are exciting opportunities ahead to re-establish the Mivan brand in existing and new international markets.”
Peter Allen of Deloitte, and Administrator of Mivan, commented: “We had initially hoped to achieve a sale of the business as a going concern, but this sale of the assets will provide an opportunity to continue the Mivan name and hopefully the Antrim facility. The assets have been sold as a package to a strong player in the industry – and potentially this will provide a platform for new jobs to be created.”
Peter Allen was appointed Administrator of Mivan (No.1) Limited (“Mivan”) on 10 January 2014. Mivan (No 1) Limited employed 289 people upon appointment and is the main trading company created from a restructuring of the group in 2012.
MJM have worked on many prestigious projects including the Cruise Liners Splendour of the Seas and Celebrity Infinity, Stenna Lines Superfast Ferry and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.
