Valmet has agreed to acquire Worcestershire-based industrial valve specialist Severn Group from private equity firm Bluewater in a deal valued at $480 million (around £358m).
The acquisition is on a cash and debt-free basis, with completion expected in the second quarter of 2026.
It spans all three Severn divisions – Severn Glocon, ValvTechnologies and LB Bentley – and is designed to strengthen Valmet’s Process Performance Solutions segment and expand its Flow Control business beyond its traditional biomaterials focus.
