Valmet has entered into an agreement to acquire the Severn Group, an industrial valve company from Bluewater, a UK private equity firm. The acquisition covers all three Severn divisions including Severn Glocon, ValvTechnologies, and LB Bentley.
The transaction is valued at USD $480 million on a cash and debt-free basis upon completion. It’s estimated to be completed during the second quarter of 2026.
Severn serves process industries globally with a 60-plus year track record of delivering specialized flow control solutions across demanding applications. The company’s innovative technologies, installed base, and strong customer relations support Valmet’s growth strategy beyond its traditional core biomaterials business.
The acquisition further strengthens Valmet’s Process Performance Solutions segment to position them as one of the leading providers of mission-critical valve and valve automation solutions and services.
