The company said it is also looking at several potential acquisitions that will enlarge its operational footprint in the Middle East, Asia and Australia.
EnerMech has appointed Bob Stephen as general manager for its UK valves operations and other appointments include Iain Stewart as production manager and Andrew Whyte as workshop supervisor.
Tim Milne has been promoted to the role of international sales manager, while Bruce Campbell, who spent 20 years with valves specialist Score, now heads up EnerMech’s valves business in Australia.
The £3.5m investment follows the acquisition of Aberdeen Valves Supplied and subsidiary LG Ball Valves in December 2010 and includes building a new valve workshop and warehouse at EnerMech’s Aberdeen headquarters.
EnerMech managing director Doug Duguid said the company’s valves care division will greatly benefit from this significant capital expenditure and the recruitment of high calibre personnel who have a wealth of experience in valve design, production and testing.
