21/04/2020
AESSEAL Inc®, a global manufacturer of mechanical seals and support systems headquartered in Rotherham, UK, has increased the capacity of its USA operations with investments totalling almost US$16 million (approximately £13.6 million).In Europe, AES Engineering Ltd, the group that owns AESSEAL, has also acquired Van Geffen, the leading Dutch asset condition monitoring specialist.
The multi-award winning Templeborough company designs and makes mechanical seals and support systems for a wide range of global industries, including oil & gas, food, water, mining and pharmaceuticals.
During the past year, the AESSEAL group has ploughed around US$11 million (approximately £9.3 million) into its manufacturing facility in Rockford, Tennessee, USA. The plant now has six state-of-the-art nine-axis machine tools.
The company will invest a further US$5 million (approximately £4.2 million) in its fully owned subsidiary MS&S, in Odessa, Texas, USA, which primarily focuses on the oil & gas
industry.
The increased productivity will mean that 85% of mechanical seals and support systems offered for sale by AESSEAL Inc will be made in the USA.
