VCE handles annual boiler insurance inspections and recertification for steam users throughout Scotland.
Its work includes preparation of boilers, pressure plant and associated valves for inspection, organising the inspector's visit and carrying out or sub-contracting necessary repair, refurbishment and testing work required in order to gain recertification.
Under Spirax Sarco UK's ownership, VCE's services will be available to all Spirax Sarco customers in Scotland, and its valve service capability will be extended to include control valves and other steam specialty products.
"VCE has a very good reputation amongst its customers and its services are already in demand beyond its current capacity," states Sheldon Banks, regional general manager at Spirax Sarco UK.
"We are positive that this acquisition will help VCE realise its growth potential and we look forward to many years of strong performance by VCE as part of the Spirax Sarco Group."
