Aveng ACS, local business partner of Emerson Automation Solutions, now has a complete automation and control solutions portfolio and service network within the automation and process control industry in southern Africa.
Emerson acquired the Valves & Controls business unit of Pentair and systematically started with the integration of these products into the Emerson portfolio, while disseminating representation of the expanded portfolio to the Emerson local business partners globally. Consequently, Aveng ACS has concluded an agreement with Emerson that expands its scope to include the valve products from Pentair Valves & Controls, in addition to the Emerson brands already covered in the existing product portfolio.
The inclusion of these new product lines and accompanying services means that Aveng ACS now offers its customers complete final control solutions for applications in flow control, pressure management, and isolation and actuation.
Existing and future customers need no longer endure the difficulty of contacting a variety of suppliers for their valve needs, or bear the added costs to their procurement process. Now, industrial process operators, purchasers and engineers can have their valve product and service needs sourced from one central point, including control valves, isolation valves, pressure and safety relief valves and valve actuation technologies.
