On July 1, 2026, Valmet completed its $480 million acquisition of Severn Group, an industrial valve company specializing in severe service flow control solutions. The acquisition covers all three Severn divisions: Severn Glocon, ValvTechnologies and LB Bentley. Valmet said Severn’s capabilities and customer relationships will strengthen its Process Performance Solutions segment, which already accounts for close to half of the company’s profitability.
“Severn strengthens our business in three ways: it adds a new addressable market in refining, energy and metals, it brings an installed base whose aftermarket potential we can unlock through Valmet’s lifecycle service model, and it expands our technology in severe service flow control,” said Thomas Hinnerskov, president and CEO of Valmet.
With 900 employees, Severn Group generated net sales of approximately $246 million in 2025. It will now be integrated into Valmet’s Flow Control business area, further enhancing its position as a leading provider of mission-critical valves and valve automation solutions.
