UK-based global engineering and reliability group, AES Engineering Ltd, has expanded its footprint in North America by acquiring a controlling stake in Condition Monitoring Services for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enhances AES Engineering Ltd’s reliability services and product offerings in the region.
AES Engineering Ltd, the parent company of AESSEAL® in Rotherham, is renowned as the world’s largest homogeneous designer and manufacturer of mechanical seals. This strategic expansion follows similar acquisitions in the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, and the USA, marking a significant step in AES Engineering Ltd’s global market growth.
CMS, headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, operates primarily in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. The company specialises in the power generation and municipal sectors, offering expertise in reliability and vibration monitoring services. CMS is recognised for its proficiency in machinery, foundations, and structural problem-solving.
The acquisition will enable CMS’s existing customers to access a broader range of products and services from the AES Reliability Group of companies under AES Engineering Ltd. CMS customers will benefit from advanced reliability products such as Machine Sentry™, a cloud-based condition monitoring system, and EasyBrace™, a universal bracing system designed to reduce structural vibration in small bore pipes.
Kirk Cormany, president of CMS, stated, “The selection of AES Engineering Ltd as our partner was an easy decision due to their product technology, similar dedication to customer service, and reliability focus. This partnership allows us to immediately meet the demand from customers for an expanded product range and opens new opportunities in other markets.”
Chris Rea, group managing director of AES Engineering Ltd, commented, “The acquisition of CMS supports our strategic decision to globalise our reliability-focused businesses and further strengthens our customer reliability offering in the important North American market.”
The acquisition was finalised on 6th August 2024.
