Advanced Engineering Valves bought by Emerson
Automation solutions and technology provider Emerson has acquired Advanced Engineering Valves (AE Valves), the manufacturer of valve technology that helps LNG customers operate more efficiently. Emerson comments that the transaction will enable the company to provide customers with the broadest portfolio of valves to improve process performance and reliability. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The addition of AE Valves supports Emerson’s Main Valve Partner initiative to be the premier supplier of final control solutions for the LNG industry, and complements its Vanessa triple-offset valve range to create a single technology leader for process isolation in critical cryogenic and severe service applications.
Operational excellence
Both Emerson and AE Valves are focused on innovating to deliver technology that helps customers achieve project delivery success and operational excellence in their end markets. AE Valves is a leader in torque-seated, friction-free, zero-leakage ball valve technology that drives performance, cost and reliability improvements over traditional ball valves. This technology is a strong complement to Emerson’s portfolio of solutions that help customers achieve Top Quartile performance.
“Adding AE Valves makes Emerson’s value to customers along the entire global LNG value chain even more compelling as a single, accountable partner for all of their valve needs,” said Lal Karsanbhai, executive president of Emerson Automation Solutions. “Our expanded portfolio of leading valve technology will help customers unlock greater capital efficiency and asset productivity as they embark on a wave of investment to meet rising global energy demand.”
AE Valves is headquartered in Verviers, Belgium, and has a nearly 10-year track record as a leading valve manufacturer.
“AE Valves is a natural addition for Emerson and shares the same commitment to developing value-creating solutions for our customers’ most challenging process applications,” said Ram Krishnan, group president of Emerson’s Final Control business. “This acquisition represents another important investment that builds on our final control technology portfolio to help customers unlock greater profitability and productivity in their businesses.”
