Siebeck is expanding its industrial valve services to include online safety valve testing, maintenance and repair following the acquisition of two operations formerly belonging to AAS GmbH Armaturen Anlagen Service. The acquired operations, previously part of the insolvent AAS business, will continue under the name Siebeck Armaturen Service GmbH. The business will be managed from Mettmann, Germany, and will add testing and servicing capabilities to Siebeck’s existing industrial and tanker valve activities.
The expanded service portfolio will cover safety valve testing, overhauls, maintenance, repairs to industrial valves and plant components, and spare parts procurement. Mobile workshops will enable technicians to carry out work at customer sites. A key part of the offering is the ability to test spring-loaded safety valves while they remain installed in the plant, provided operating conditions allow it. A mobile, computer-assisted testing system measures the pressure at which a valve opens and records other functional parameters. This approach can avoid removing the valve from the system, transporting it to a workshop and reinstalling it after testing.
The service also covers welded-in safety valves. These can be tested without system pressure, including during scheduled plant overhauls or following repair work. Test results are recorded for each valve, providing customers with documentation of its operating condition and performance.
Siebeck will also provide maintenance and repair services for industrial valves and other plant components. Spare parts procurement will form part of the offering, helping customers source components required for servicing and repairs.
Documentation of completed work and test results will provide a record for future maintenance planning. The use of mobile workshops will allow service work to be carried out at industrial facilities, reducing the need to transport equipment away from customer sites.
Michael Siebeck, Managing Director of Siebeck GmbH, said the acquired operations complemented the group’s existing business and could be integrated into its current activities. He said the company planned to develop the testing and service operations further from Mettmann.
The acquisition expands Siebeck’s activities beyond the sale of industrial and tanker valves into testing, maintenance and repair services. It also adds specialist capabilities for customers seeking support for safety valves and other equipment used in industrial plants.
Siebeck GmbH supplies industrial and tanker valves. Through the newly established Siebeck Armaturen Service GmbH, the group is expanding its activities to include online safety valve testing, maintenance, overhauls, repairs and spare parts procurement. The service operations will be managed from Mettmann, Germany.
