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, Severn Glocon has opened a new valve automation centre in Aberdeen. 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 successful since its launch 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. 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.
