AVT Reliability acquires Van Geffen

20 January 2020

The Dutch asset condition monitoring specialist, Van Geffen, has become part of the AVT Reliability Group following its acquisition by UK-based AES Engineering Ltd.

AVT Reliability has consolidated its position as an innovator in reliability products and services over the past two years, launching products such as the Machine Sentry cloud-based condition monitoring system and EasyBrace, the universal bracing system designed for the reduction of structural vibration in small bore pipes.

Van Geffen is a leader in reliability and vibration monitoring services, specialising in the prevention and solving of problems with machinery, foundations and structures.

Chris Rea, group managing director at AES Engineering Ltd, believes that the acquisition of Van Geffen will allow both new and existing customers to benefit from a synergy of skills and service capabilities to help manufacturers reduce downtime and maintain and improve rotating machinery reliability. He said: “We consider it to be a significant enhancement of the reliability services we can provide to our customers in Western Europe. The acquisition of Van Geffen is part of a strategic decision to develop AVT Reliability Ltd to become a global business which will both support and be supported by the global AESSEAL Reliability Group.”
