A person or organization that brings things under central control.
From centralise + -er (agent noun suffix). British spelling variant of centralizer. The -er suffix dates to Old English and creates nouns for those who perform an action.
A centraliser in ancient Rome was anyone who wanted to consolidate the empire's power—which is why decentralisers (like senators who wanted local power) constantly fought them.
