Emerson buys Belgian valve company

US-headquartered engineer and tech company Emerson has acquired Advanced Engineering Valves, a Belgium-based manufacturer of valve technology for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.

The addition of A.E. Valves supports Emerson’s Main Valve Partner initiative to be the “premier supplier” of final control solutions for the LNG industry, Emerson said in a statement.

It also complements Emerson’s Vanessa triple-offset valve range to create a single technology leader for process isolation in critical cryogenic and severe service applications.

Emerson did not reveal the value of the deal.

A.E. Valves is headquartered in Verviers, Belgium, and has a nearly 10-year track record as a valve manufacturer.
