Launch Tech UK announces acquisition and relocation

Launch Tech UK has been acquired by Launch Europe GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Launch Tech Co. Ltd, and key player in diagnostic and automotive aftermarket equipment.

This acquisition is said to mark the beginning of a new chapter for the company as it continues to grow and enhance its presence in the UK.

As part of the acquisition, Launch Tech UK announced that its head office will be relocating to Milton Keynes in 2025. This move is designed to allow the brand to enhance its customer service capabilities, expand product training opportunities and improve operational efficiency.

After 20 years at the helm, Dave Richards, owner and Managing Director, will be retiring this August. His leadership has reportedly been instrumental in building Launch Tech UK into a trusted name within diagnostics.

Dave commented: “My decision to retire comes after careful consideration, I’ve had much success leading the brand over the last 20 years and I believe I am leaving the future of the company in great hands within the Launch Tech worldwide family.”

Eric Xue, CEO at Launch Tech Europe, said: “We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Dave for his dedication and exceptional leadership over the years. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we move forward.”

During the transition to the new Milton Keynes office, the company claims its Plymouth location will continue to remain fully operational. Launch Tech UK also says there will be no disruption to services and is committed to maintaining the high levels of customer service and support that its partners and customers have come to expect.

The acquisition and relocation are said to signify more than just a change of address – they represent a renewed focus on growth, customer satisfaction and continued innovation.

Eric concluded: “The next chapter of Launch Tech UK is a bright one, and we’d like to thank all of our loyal customers, partners and colleagues for their ongoing support.”
