Severn Group

Valmet has acquired Severn Group, a UK-based industrial valve company specializing in severe service flow control, with manufacturing in the USA, UK and India.

Valmet completed its acquisition of Severn Group, a severe-service industrial valve company, on July 1, 2026, to grow its Process Performance Solutions segment.

Bluewater agreed to sell Severn, a British valve manufacturer with about 1,000 staff and 20 locations, to Finland-listed Valmet in a transaction valued at $480 million, expected to close in Q2 2026.

Severn delivered two compressor anti-surge control valves for an FPSO project in the UK Central North Sea for an unnamed operator, three days ahead of the 16-week schedule.

Valmet entered into a deal to acquire Severn Group, an industrial valve company, from UK private equity firm Bluewater for $480 million paid in cash. The deal covers Severn Glocon, ValvTechnologies and LB Bentley. Announced on 22 December 2025.
