Valmet completes acquisition of Process Gas Chromatography business from Siemens

The Process Gas Chromatography and Integration business of Siemens AG is a market leader with its MAXUM II Gas Chromatograph platform, systems integration, and customer services offering. Gas chromatographs are used to measure the chemical composition in gases and evaporable liquids in all stages of production. With deep customer process knowledge in chemicals, LNG, refining and biofuels, the business provides critical process insights to support its customers in ensuring and improving quality, sustainability, and safety worldwide. The business employs around 300 people, and its main locations are in the US, Germany, and Singapore.

The acquisition is in line with Valmet's strategy and will further strengthen Valmet's automation segment and process automation offering with process industry gas chromatograph and process analyser systems offering. It also strengthens Valmet's Automation Systems business footprint in North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe.
