Severn Glocon Launches Valve Automation Centre in Aberdeen 3rd February 2011

Severn Glocon has opened a new Valve Automation Centre in Aberdeen building on the company’s engineering experience in the design, supply and maintenance of valve and actuator products through its Severn Ball Valves and Severn Unival divisions.

Headed by ex-Paladon general manager John Grant, the new Centre signals a clear expansion of the work of Severn Ball Valves (SBV) that has been highly successful since its launch just 12 months ago. SBV supplies either manual or actuated valves as stand-alone products, but has increasingly been called on to provide whole package solutions by customers that recognise the company’s drive train engineering capability.

The Valve Automation Centre is investing heavily in extending the training of its engineers to design, build and deliver optimum valve, actuator and control panel packages. Severn Glocon Group director Colin Findlay explained, “This move capitalises on our World Class engineering intelligence experience and extends our hold on the market for engineered design, manufacture, supply and maintenance of valves and associated products.”

The Valve Automation Centre is based at Badentoy Park, Portlethen, Aberdeen. 01224 780036 www.severnglocon.com
