WSG Industrial Services BV (WSG) has extended its reach into the European gas and petrochemicals sector with the 100% acquisition of French company Nitrovia for an undisclosed sum.
Nitrovia, based near Aix-en-Provence, provides a full range of services to the petrochemical, refineries, and pipeline industries and has experienced strong growth since its inception by the Air Flow Group in October 2020.
WSG is the largest independent provider of process, pipeline, and industrial services to the UK and European refinery and LNG terminal sectors and the 1000-strong business also provides commissioning, valve services, specialist NDT, inspection, and well intervention services.
Nitrovia’s core management team, David Delquignie, and Marc Montagut will continue to grow the business across continental Europe under the WSG brand. Widely respected in the French industrial services sector, Mr Delquignie and Mr Montagut have a combined 40 years of experience in engineering, sales, maintenance, and project design.
WSG European Regional Director, Steve Jones, said: “It has been our vision to expand our operations into France and by aligning with Nitrovia, who have an excellent long-standing reputation in the petrochemicals and refineries space, we can build on their strong foundation by consolidating existing relationships and pursuing new opportunities.
“This strategic acquisition adds value to our proposition and propels us forward on the road to achieving our stated objective of expanding the WSG brand across key European markets.”
