AES makes overseas acquisition

11/04/2023

UK-based AES Engineering Ltd has further increased its reliability services and product offering in North America by acquiring a controlling stake in Datum RMS, a reliability company, for an undisclosed sum.

AES Engineering Ltd, based in Templeborough, UK, is a multi-award-winning company that designs and manufactures mechanical seals and support systems for a wide range of global industries, including oil & gas, food, water, mining and pharmaceuticals.

This latest expansion in the global market follows recent acquisitions in the Netherlands, Canada and Australia.

Datum RMS, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, and also with operations in Savannah, Georgia, USA, is a recognised leader in reliability and vibration monitoring services, specialising in the prevention and solving of problems with machinery, foundations and structures.

The acquisition will allow the existing customers of Datum RMS to benefit from a wider product and service offering from the 
AES Reliability Group of companies owned by AES Engineering Ltd.

By joining the AES Engineering Group, Datum RMS customers gain access to world-class reliability products such as Machine Sentry, a cloud-based condition monitoring system, and Easy-Brace, a universal bracing system designed for the reduction of structural vibration in small-bore pipes.

Chris Rea, Group Managing Director of AES Engineering Ltd, said: “The acquisition of Datum RMS supports our strategic decision to globalise our reliability-focused businesses and further strengthens our customer offering in the important North American market.”
