Australian investment for AES Engineering

The AES Engineering Group has made another key acquisition in Australia, providing country-wide coverage as part of the group’s ongoing global growth strategy.

AESSEAL W.A. has been launched following the group’s acquisition of TRISEAL’s operations on the west coast of Australia, making it well placed to serve the important mining and minerals sector and other major industrial customers.

Under the terms of the deal, the AES Engineering Group has acquired all operating assets of the former TRISEAL branches located in Perth and Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The UK-based group, which owns AESSEAL, the world’s largest homogeneous designer and manufacturer of mechanical seals, will make the entire product and service portfolio of both AESSEAL and AES Sealing products available to serve the Australian sealing market to the highest global standards.

This move means AESSEAL, also with operations in Queensland and New South Wales, is able to provide a 100% Australia-wide westto-east and north-to-south product and service support network for all industrial segments in this hugely important marketplace. David Lauga, former TRISEAL owner and director, said: “This sale allows AESSEAL W.A. to immediately improve its offering to customers for an expanded product range as well as opening up new opportunities in other markets.

Chris Rea, Managing Director of AES Engineering, said: “This acquisition demonstrates the commitment of the AES Engineering Group to strengthening its already well-established position as a leading sealing technology provider in the global market and builds on its existing business in Australia, reinforcing its position as a recognised leader in the supply of reliability products and services to all customers.”
